摘要
We consider a monopolist firm selling to strategic customers who may purchase more than one unit of a product in a two-period model. We provide closed-form solutions for the firm's optimal prices and show that they are non-monotonic in both the value of the second unit and the strategic level of customers. Particularly, the first-period price can increase as customers become more strategic, in contrast to the single-unit setting where it always decreases in the strategic level of customers.
