Efficient pricing of large value interbank payment systems

Holthausen, Cornelia; Rochet, Jean-Charles - European Central Bank - 2002

This paper studies the efficient pricing of large-value payment systems in the presence of unobservable heterogeneity about banks' future payment volumes. It is shown that the optimal pricing scheme for a public monopoly system involves quantity discounts in the form of a decreasing marginal...

Markets with Consumer Switching Costs and Non-Linear Pricing.

Gabrielsen, Tommy Staahl; Vagstad, Steinar - Institutt for Økonomi, Universitetet i Bergen - 2002

In a non-cooperative oligopoly model where firms use simple linear prices, Klemperer (1987) has shown that the existence of consumers’ switching costs may generate monopoly like prices, and thereby create substantial loss in welfare. We show that when allowing firms to use two-part tariffs,...

Paying for Shelf Space: An Investigation of Merchandising Allowances in the Grocery Industry

Rennhoff, Adam - In: Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization 6 (2008) 1, pp. 1233-1233

Merchandising allowances are fees paid by manufacturers to retailers in order to encourage the allocation of in-store promotional activities to the manufacturers' brand. I use a three-stage game framework to formulate a vertical structural model, which endogenizes manufacturer, retailer, and...

Heterogeneous cost sharing, the directional serial rule

Koster, Maurice - In: Computational Statistics 64 (2006) 3, pp. 429-444

The directional serial rule is introduced as a natural serial extension, generalizing the Moulin–Shenker cost sharing rule to heterogeneous cost sharing models. It is the unique regular rule compatible with the radial serial principle. In particular, this shows the incompatibility of the...

Why is on-net traffic cheaper than off-net traffic? Access markup as a collusive device and a barrier to entry.

Vagstad, Steinar; Gabrielsen, Tommy Staahl - Econometric Society - 2004

Received literature have shown that if competing networks are restricted to linear and uniform pricing, high access charges can facilitate collusion; a result that breaks down if we allow for non-linear and discriminatory pricing, however. We show that by adding unbalanced calling pattern to the...

Pricing structure in the deregulated UK electricity market

Salies, Evens; Price, Catherine Waddams - Sciences économiques, Sciences Po - 2003

As residential energy markets open to competition, consumers can choose from a range of tariffs offered by different suppliers. We examine the relationship between the fixed charge levied on each consumer, and the variable charge per unit of energy used across all these tariffs. Data are the...
