Journal Article
The Coase Conjecture When the Monopolist and Customers have Different Discount Rates
2025
Overview
One of the most famous and outstanding formalizations of the Coase Conjecture is by Gul et al. (J Econ Theory 39(1):155–190, 1986.
https://doi.org/10.1016/0022-0531(86)90024-4
) peculiarity of their model—as well as nearly all other examinations of the Coase Conjecture, including that by Coase himself—is that it assumes that the monopolist and customers have the same discount rate. I re-examine their model, while relaxing this restriction. Gul et. al. show that, if the (common) discount rate of the monopolist and customers approaches one, then the Coase Conjecture follows. I show that one only needs the discount rate of the
customers
to approach one for this to be true. I also show a second result: If the customers’ discount rate is fixed at a value less than one, while the monopolist’s discount rate approaches one, then the Coase Conjecture is guaranteed
not
to follow.
