If by this you mean that standard supply-demand economics can't model price discrimination, which is what's going on here, that's not correct. See, for example, Chapter 10 of David Friedman's Price Theory, where he models price discrimination using supply and demand curves just fine. In terms of this kind of analysis, price discrimination is a way for sellers to try to transfer as much as possible of what…

如果你这话的意思是标准的供求经济学无法为价格歧视建模（而这里发生的情况正是价格歧视），那就不对了。例如，可以看看戴维·弗里德曼《价格理论》的第 10 章，他在那里用供求曲线对价格歧视进行了很好的建模。从这类分析的角度来看，价格歧视是卖方试图尽可能多地转移……的一种手段。
