PRICE DISCRIMINATION
Different prices charged on different
customers which do not reflect the
differences in costs
e.g movie tickets, airline tickets, telephone
rates
Three conditions for price discrimination to
be successful:
1. Firm must have some control over price
2. Different group of customers have
different price elasticity of demand
3. A firm can prevent the customer from
reselling the product in another market
