Abstract: | Abstract. The purpose of this survey is twofold. First, it introduces the reader to recent developments in the theory of price discrimination. Simultaneously, the exposition aims at being self-contained and accessible to the non-specialist reader. The paper is structured around Pigou's distinction between perfect, second-degree and third-degree price discrimination. |
