" Supplying Information to Facilitate Price Discrimination," Lewis, Tracy R & Sappington, David E M, 1994.Welfare comparison of optional tariffs will be very sensitive to type distributions, how types enter demand specifications, and the relative variance of the type components.

The paper also shows that no results regarding social efficiency may be obtained in general. The paper studies whether the monopolist may profit from screening consumers according to different information sets, and it shows that expected profits are higher under an ex-post tariff if the variance of the ex-ante type distribution is large enough. In this model consumers' uncertainty is resolved in the interim, between the tariff choice and the usage decision, through changes in their types. These optimal outlay schedules illustrate how the tariff design is altered when there exists a time lag between tariff choice and consumption. Two particular solutions commonly used in telecommunications and other industries are fully characterized. This paper addresses the optimal design of optional nonlinear tariffs.
