Optimal Simple Ratings

open access: yesThe Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.

We show that optimal ratings must be threshold partitions, and that for linear supply and Cournot competition with constant marginal cost, optimal thresholds solve a k‐means clustering problem requiring only the quality distribution.
