    Notes: The general necessary optimality conditions for second-best discrete multipart tariffs are rather complex. In this paper, we derive a simplified characterization of these conditions for two-part tariffs and for block-rate tariffs for given thresholds of these tariffs. The simplified necessary optimality conditions are equivalent to the necessary conditions for a Ramsey-optimum for goods with continuously variable individually demanded quantities. We demonstrate that this characterization of second-best multipart tariffs can be helpful, when applying the usual regulatory mechanisms to these tariffs. In particular, we consider Vogelsang–Finsinger (1979) regulation as well as a particular form of price-cap regulation which is related to the Laspeyres index of prices.

    An Amendment to Baumol's Burden Test (2006)
    Berkeley, Calif. : Berkeley Electronic Press (now: De Gruyter)
    Topics in theoretical economics 6.2006, 1, art8

    ISSN: 1534-598X

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: In order to incorporate demand interdependencies into the analysis of fairness between the different consumer groups of a multi-product public utility, Baumol (1986) designed the burden test. This test checks whether the price of a single good generates net incremental revenues which cover at least the incremental costs of the good. It is, however, more reasonable to compare net incremental revenues and net incremental costs. Furthermore, it is useful to extend the analysis to groups of goods. Therefore, we develop a new fairness test, which we call the net burden test, and characterize its properties.

    Franchise Bidding for Postal Services in Rural Regions (2004)
    Berkeley, Calif. : Berkeley Electronic Press (now: De Gruyter)
    Topics in economic analysis & policy 4.2004, 1, art10 
    Details
    ISSN: 1538-0653

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: In this paper, we develop a franchise bidding mechanism for postal services under the Universal Service Obligation (USO) in rural areas. For the collection and delivery of mail on rural routes and for small town counter operations, monopoly franchises are awarded. Deficits caused by the USO are balanced by transfers between the government and the incumbent postal operator, i.e. the franchiser. We analyze the efficiency properties of the mechanism and discuss the drawbacks when extending the mechanism to urban areas.
