| Kutlu (2009, “Price discrimination in Stackelberg competition”, Journal of Industrial Economics) shows that the Stackelberg leader sells to the highest value consumers and only the Stackelberg follower practises price discrimination. We show that this result is not robust if the marginal cost of the leader is lower than that of the follower. In this situation, both the leader and the follower practise price discrimination. |
