Palavras-chave: | Economic theory does not provide sharp predictions on the welfare effects of banning wholesale price discrimination: if downstream costs differences exist then discrimination shifts production inefficiently; Towards high cost retailers; So a ban increases welfare; If differences in price elasticity of demand across retailers exist; Discrimination may increase welfare if more market is covered; So a ban reduces welfare. Using retail prices and quantities of coffee brands sold by German retailers; I estimate a model of demand and supply and separate cost and demand differences. Simulating a ban on wholesale price discrimination has positive welfare effects in this market; And less if downstream cost differences shrink; Or with less competition.; Consumer/Household Economics; L13.
