摘要：

This paper points out that without restrictions on the cost function, distribution of consumer types, and on the extent of market coverage, the standard parameterization of preferences cannot by itself guarantee that a monopolist would choose a separating menu. Moreover, there may not be any quality distortion. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
