Abstract: Abstract We generalize the approach of Carlier (J Math Econ 35, 129–150, 2001) and provide an existence proof for the multidimensional screening problem with general nonlinear preferences. We first formulate the principal’s problem as a maximization problem with G-convexity constraints and then use G-convex analysis to prove existence.
