         摘要:We study a two-period model where a seller lists a new product on a platform in period 1, and in period 2 the platform enters the same market with third-degree price discrimination based on consumers` purchasing history. The model stresses two asymmetries: (i) only the platform can price discriminate; (ii) consumers strictly prefer purchasing from the platform, with other things being equal. The analysis shows that, depending on transportation cost of purchasing from the seller, there are two types of pure strategy equilibria where the seller either loses high-transportation-cost customers or the entire market. Compared with uniform pricing, the platform is better off with price discrimination, and so is social welfare. Moreover, the seller is not necessarily worse off under price discrimination, as it can take advantage of consumers` strategic movements in the first period.
