Abstract
Motivated by several recent studies on oligopolistic markets with consumer heterogeneity, we characterize the geometric properties of a class of inequalities involving the product of two integrals of the probability density quantile function and its reciprocal. Through three applications, we illustrate how our characterization can help enrich our understanding of the existing findings and shed some new insights, regarding the extent to which consumer welfare and social efficiency depend on the properties of the distributions of consumer valuation heterogeneity.
