Editor's Notes

  • #5 Occupational discounts: This price discrimination is present when individuals receive certain discounts based on their occupation. An example is when active military members receive discounts CINEMA EXAPLE at day time they cost low price at night they cost high price
  • #6 CMH hospital Gives free medical to medical
  • #8 There are three conditions that are necessary to explain price discrimination
  • #14 Firm charges each customer the most the customer would be willing to pay for each unit he or she buys By assuming that firms could somehow find out maximum price customers would be willing to pay for each unit of output it sells It could increase profits even further, but at expense of customers
