Warranties as a device to extract rent from low-risk users of a product

Article Abstract:

Monopolists bundle their products with a warranty to extract rent from low-risk users. The imposition of a warranty increases a product's price to high-risk users, removing the incentives for low-risk users to pretend to be high-risk users. High-risk users are more likely to cause product failure than low-risk users.
