PRICE DISCRIMINATION


Meaning of PRICE DISCRIMINATION in English

Practice of selling goods or services at different prices to different buyers, even though sales costs are the same for all the transactions.

Buyers may be discriminated against on the basis of income, ethnicity, age, or geographic location. For price discrimination to succeed, other entrepreneurs must be unable to purchase goods at the lower price and resell them at a higher one.
