摘要：

This paper presents a general analysis of the effects of monopolistic third-degree price discrimination on welfare and output when all markets are served. Sufficient conditions-involving straightforward comparisons of the curvatures of the direct and inverse demand functions in the different markets-are presented for discrimination to have negative or positive effects on social welfare and output.
