摘要：A monopoly seller who faces ambiguity about a buyer’s consumption plans aims to design a price menu that maximizes her guaranteed （worst-case） profit. We show that an optimal total-price menu can be linear in quantity under general conditions, and this qualitative result extends to multiple buyers and/or sellers. Thus the model may provide a rationale for why simple pricing strategies, such as single unit prices, are often preferred by sellers despite rich buyer information. We also extend the model to analyze how supply-chain firms respond to price-cap regulation in the presence of ambiguity.
