| Abstract: |
The empirical evidence supporting the impact that second degree price
discrimination has on a firm’s revenue has received little attention. The
present research examines ticket data from Major League Baseball from 1990
through 2010. Estimating a two-staged least squares model, we find neither
price discrimination variable has an impact on team revenues. However, we find
that both of these price discrimination variables impact revenues when
examining different facility types. We discuss the impact on the role that
price behavior and venues have on price dispersion. |
