    Abstract
Many platforms have used a Price Parity Clause (PPC) to prevent sellers charging lower prices on other sales channels. PPCs are often considered anti-competitive and have been banned in some jurisdictions. We provide a novel rationale—centered on how PPCs affect platforms’ data acquisition—for why a complete ban on PPCs may harm buyers and sellers.
