We consider a duopoly model where firms can identify only a share of consumers, which is positively correlated with the consumer' preferences. Firms charge personalized prices to the consumers they can recognize and a uniform price to the rest of consumers. The firms' available information is...

We analyse the effects of predation in a vertical differentiation model, where the highquality incumbent is able to price discriminate while the low-quality entrant sets a uniform price. The incumbent may act as a predator, that is, it may price below its marginal costs on a subset of consumers...

This paper reviews the main contributions of the literature regarding the effects of direct price discrimination within the Hotelling model. Moreover, we introduce an asymmetric Hotelling model and we show that the assumption of spatial asymmetry between firms is likely to alter the implications...
