This document discusses price discrimination, which is when a firm charges different prices for the same good or service. There are three types of price discrimination: first degree, second degree, and third degree. The document analyzes the conditions needed for price discrimination to be successful, provides examples of each type, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages from the perspectives of both firms and consumers. While price discrimination allows firms to maximize profits, it can also exploit captive consumer markets who face inelastic demand. The growth of technology may limit opportunities for price discrimination over time.
