Examples of nonlinear tariffs include railroad and electricity schedules and rental rates for durable goods and space. The major justification for the nonlinear pricing is the existence of private information on the side of consumers. In the early papers on the subject, private information was captured either by assuming a finite number of types (e. g. Adams and Yellen, 1976) or by a unidimensional continuum of types (Mussa and Rosen, 1978). Economics of the unidimen sional problems is by now well understood. The unidimensional models, however, do not cover all the situations of practical interest. Indeed, often the nonlinear tariffs specify the payment as a function of a variety of characteristics. For example, railroad tariffs spec ify charges based on weight, volume, and distance of each shipment. Dif ferent customers may value each of these characteristics differently, hence the customer‘s type will not in general be captured by a unidimensional characteristic and a problem of multidimensional screening arises. In such models the consumer‘s private information (h | 出版日期 | Book 2005 | 关键词 | Generalized Convexity; Hamiltonian Approach; Mechanism Design; Multi-dimensional Screening; Non-linear P | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/b138910 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-540-23906-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-27313-4Series ISSN 1431-8849 Series E-ISSN 2196-9930 | issn_series | 1431-8849 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005 |
