We present preferences exhibiting a so-called subordinate good, namely a commodity such that the willingness to pay for it increases when the consumption of all goods increases proportionally, and thus receives a negative price-cost margin according to Ramsey pricing.

Ramsey pricing: a simple example of a subordinate commodity

Bertoletti, P

Abstract

We present preferences exhibiting a so-called subordinate good, namely a commodity such that the willingness to pay for it increases when the consumption of all goods increases proportionally, and thus receives a negative price-cost margin according to Ramsey pricing. We also show that its Bertrand equilibrium price is above its Cournotian price.
