题目: Discrimination through Market Segmentation

摘要:We study third-degree information discrimination where a sender gives different information to different segments of receivers. Information discrimination (with two actions) is equivalent to (constrained) price discrimination where the seller has an inaccurate belief about the distribution of buyers' values. When the state is binary, the seller's inaccurate belief implies that market segmentation fails to restore efficiency. For general state distribution we identify when market segmentation attains the social planner's outcome. Finally the receiver-optimal segmentation could increase the sender's payoff relative to the unsegmented market.
