摘要：The paper explores second degree price discrimination in a multi-
dimensional good context. There are two types of consumers with demand
described by a two-dimensional vector, a quantity dimension and a service
attribute dimension (mode of usage, usage pattern). The adverse selec-
tion parameter determines the consumers’ willingness to pay for quantity
increments with a certain set of attributes. The multi-dimensionality is
exploited by forcing a restriction on the mode of usage towards consumers
with low willingness to pay in order to make it less tempting for high types
to mimic a low type. We show that the firm introduces distortions in
the use of the service against a decrease in the quantity distortions in the
low-type’s contract.
