onsumers who are being exploited and suffering from a lower consumer surplus in a peak market would find it undesirable, but consumers benefiting from lower prices in the non-peak market and revenue maximising firms would find it desirable. ]]> 2017-11-07 20:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204578129 https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204593072 Price discrimination is not always desirable as allocative efficiency does not exist in some degrees of price discrimination. ]]> 2017-11-07 21:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204593072 https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204595941 Price discrimination is not always undesirable because in some cases such as when it is used to reduce the level of competition in the market it is undesirable and in other cases it can be desirable as the case when it leads to lower prices for customers with an elastic demand.]]> 2017-11-07 21:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204595941 https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204612632 In conclusion price discrimation is not always undesirable as there are many factors that can benefit both consumers and firms in maxisingeconomic welfare ]]> 2017-11-07 22:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204612632 https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204622117 Price Discrimination is not always undesirable as it would depend on many factors such as the elasticity of demand for the consumers which in some cases would allow a firm to exploit the consumers, in addition to the degree of price discrimination the firm may use as some degrees may be more desirable than others.]]> 2017-11-07 22:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204622117 https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204688662 Price discrimination isn’t always undesirable as firms are able to exploit inelastic demand from consumers e.g. train tickets at peak times. However, the minority of customers may find price discrimination desirable during times where the firm set prices the lowest which coincidentally suits the consumer. ]]> 2017-11-08 07:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204688662 https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204703876 Ultimately, it really depends upon who you are. If you are the monopolist, then fairly obviously ; price discrimination is always desirable, however if your are the consumer with inelastic demand, then in that instance it would be undesirable.]]> 2017-11-08 08:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204703876 https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/204709902 Price discrimination can be both desirable and undesirable. It is good for the consumers that have an elastic demand resulting in cheaper prices for them. However, it is undesirable when smaller firms are on the receiving end of 'predatory pricing'.

For example, Off-peak travellers. However, it's not always undesirable as the producers have the power of 'predatory pricing'.]]> 2017-11-08 20:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tim_cullinan/jy6eyrla0pox/wish/205032788
