Monopoly, Ramsey and Lindahl in the Rochet and Tirole (2003)

Economics Letters | , Vol 103: pp. 99-100

Rochet and Tirole [Rochet, J.-C., Tirole, J., 2003. Platform competition in two-sided markets. Journal of the European Economic Association 1(4), 990–1029] consider the consumer Ramsey problem in a model of two-sided markets. I extend their analysis to the social Ramsey and Lindahl problems, comparing the solutions to all three to monopoly pricing.
