Opis

What do phone rates, frequent flyer programs, and railroad tariffs all have in common? They are all examples of nonlinear pricing. Pricing is nonlinear when it is not strictly proportional to the quantity purchased. The Electric Power Research Institute has commissioned Robert Wilson to review the various facets of nonlinear pricing. The work starts with a general non-mathematical discussion, followed by a more technical presentation intended for readers with a fairly advanced background. Thorough and detailed, this study has ample examples of case studies from a variety of industries.

Recenzje

Masterful book ... The bibliography itself is exhaustive and will be the standard source of reference for years to come. Robert Wilson has written an important book ... Nonlinear Pricing is already established as an essential reference for those working on monopoly pricing issues, both theoretical and empirical. However its methodological contributions should make it valuable to the wider audience of economists working on a range of topics in the Economics of Information.
