MANIPULATIVE CONSUMERS

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Emily Brown .

We study optimal monopoly pricing with evasive consumers. The seller uses consumer data to finetune pricing. However, such third degree price discrimination encourages data-conscious consumers to manipulate their observable attributes (at a cost). This reduces the effectiveness of information, sometimes rendering it useless. For several settings, we derive the monopolist’s optimal investigation strategy, and find that less is more.
