| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on literature research and empirical survey, I constructed the following theoretical model. First, when considering consumer behavior into the analysis of firm's price discrimination strategy, firms discount new customers in the market with more inertial consumers, while firms reward past customers in the market with more variety-seeking customers. Second, when considering consumer’s rational expectation for the future purchase, when consumers are forward-looking, behavior-based price discrimination hurts firms’ profits as shown in the previous literatures. However, when consumers are naive, I prove that behavior-based pricing can be profitable for firms.
