| Abstract | We re-consider the decision of a seller who can introduce two versions of a product to a population with di¤ering valuations of quality. In contrast with the previous literature, we allow for the possibility that consumers buy both versions. This simple extension introduces novel results. It now becomes optimal to introduce both versions if products are not too substitutes, even when production costs are zero (pure information goods). The model is particularly appropriate for analyzing the movie industry, where consumers can both watch a movie in a theatre and a home video. The simultaneous introduction of both versions is also contrasted with their sequential release. |
