Abstract
Third-degree online price discrimination can improve welfare when the online–offline cross-demand parameter is large, even though the total outputs remain unchanged. However, if the online firm competes with a uniform-pricing chain store, online discrimination will reduce welfare. Extensive discussions on different slopes, a leader–follower game, and general multiple markets are provided.
