CREATIVE PRICING IN MARKETS FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

William Johnson

Virginia Economics Online Papers from University of Virginia, Department of Economics

Abstract: Technological changes over the past two decades have made it easier to distribute and to copy intellectual property. Creators and owners of intellectual property have responded to these changes with a variety of creative pricing strategies. The paper reviews some of these pricing innovations. Two broad categories of innovations are explored: those that facilitate price discrimination and those that exploit complementarities between di¤erent types of creative works.
