This paper extends the retroactive most‐favoured‐customer pricing policy examined by Cooper (1986). He showed that the policy enabled both firms in a duopoly to offer higher prices and to enjoy higher profits. This paper introduces a variable into the most‐favoured‐customer pricing policy. Then, it shows that there is an equilibrium in which the duopolists can further increase their profits.
