Abstract:
Thisarticle is a first look at the profit and welfare effects of behavior-basedprice discrimination in a two-period multi-dimensional preferences model.Compared to one-dimensional models, we show that firms compete lessaggressively in both periods and so new results are obtained. Specifically,under forward looking consumers and two symmetric dimensions, BBPD boostsindustry profits at the expense of consumers. However, we show that thestandard one-dimensional welfare results can prevail under asymmetricdimensions and myopic consumers.
