Abstract

pricing signalling product quality separating equilibrium L15 D82
The paper considers the pricing decision by a seller who has private information about quality. It is shown that, contrary to widespread belief, high quality products may be sold with positive probability even when buyers have no private information. The separating equilibria have a very simple structure.
