The comparison between ad valorem and specific taxation under two-part tariffs
Schjelderup, Guttorm; Jensen, Sissel (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2009-06)In this paper, we compare ad valorem and specific taxation under heterogeneous demand when a monopolist offers a menu of two-part tariffs.

Two part tariffs with partial product bundling

Two-part pricing, consumer heterogeneity and Cournot competition
Jensen, Sissel; Sørgard, Lars (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001)We analyze two-part tariffs in an oligopoly, where each firm commits to a quantity and a fixed fee prior to the determination of unit prices. In the case of homogeneous consumers, Harrison and Kline (2001) showed that the ... -
Two-part tariffs with partial unbundling
Jensen, Sissel (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-10)The paper explores second degree price discrimination in a multidimensional good context. There are two types of consumers with demand described by a two-dimensional vector, a quantity dimension and a service attribute ... -
Two-part tariffs with quality degradation
Jensen, Sissel (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2006-03)There is a gap between the recommendations of the theory of second degree price discrimination and the practices of firms that target consumer segments with varying willingness to pay with two or more distinct tar- iffs. ... -
Two-part tariffs, consumer heterogeneity and Cournot competition
Jensen, Sissel; Sørgard, Lars (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-10)We analyze two-part tariffs in oligopoly, where each firm commits to a certain quantity. The model is an extension of the one introduced in Har (2001). We show that their main results are reversed when the model is extended ...
