Abstract
⺠We analyze competition in non-linear pricing under complete information. ⺠We compare truthful and Pareto dominant equilibria. ⺠In truthful equilibria, more highly concentrated markets are always less competitive. ⺠In Pareto-dominant equilibria, the result may be reversed. ⺠Buyers may benefit from a merger even in the absence of efficiency gains.
