Nonlinear Pricing and the Utility Possibility Set

Tommy Andersson

No 2005:19, Working Papers from Lund University, Department of Economics

Abstract: We consider nonlinear pricing policies that are designed by a social welfare maximizer who operates under a non-negative profit requirement. In our two-type economy, we characterize the set of all feasible nonlinear pricing policies and the frontier of the utility possibility set. Our results provide a link between distortion in consumption and individual, as well as, social welfare.
