Monopolist nonlinear pricing in a seller's market
Abstract
In this paper, we study the Rochet-Choné model of monopolist pricing in the seller's market limit. We introduce a monotonicity formula which yields an asymptotic description of solutions, and prove that the proportion of consumers priced out of the market vanishes as overall consumer demand increases, providing a counterpoint to Armstrong's desirability of exclusion.
