Fundamentos del análisis económico TEÓFILO SOGORB Alicante, Mayo de 2018 1 Resumen En este trabajo se lleva a cabo un estudio de la práctica microeconómica de discriminación de precios y los beneficios derivados de su aplicación a través del análisis en la multinacional Louis Viutton Moet Hesseny. Para ello en primer lugar se explica de manera teórica la discriminación de precios, los requisitos que han de cumplirse para que pueda llevarse a cabo determinada práctica, así como los diferentes grados de discriminación existentes y los diferentes tipos de mercado, señalando en cual de ellos tiene sentido su aplicación. Una vez expresados los modelos teóricos se comprueba su aplicación práctica en la empresa LVMH, alegando su pertenencia a un mercado de competencia monopolística y comprobando el cumplimiento de los requisitos explicados previamente. Con el objetivo de probar la utilización de la práctica discriminatoria de precios y los efectos positivos derivados de ella sobre el beneficio global de la organización, se toman como ejemplo dos de los productos comercializados por esta multinacional. Finalmente se concluye con la afirmación de que la teoría microeconómica coincide con la realidad de la empresa LVMH, que aplica de manera correcta y beneficiosa la práctica de discriminación de precios, quedando probada su efectividad práctica. Palabras clave: Discriminación de precios, Microeconomía, Oligopolio, Competencia Imperfecta, Discriminación de segundo grado, Segmentación, Mercado de lujo 2 Abstract In this paper, a study of the microeconomic practice of price discrimination and the benefits derived from its application through the analysis in the multinational Louis Viutton Moet Hesseny is developed.
