Existence in Multidimensional Screening with General Nonlinear Preferences

Econometrics 2018-12-11 v2 Optimization and Control

Abstract

We generalize the approach of Carlier (2001) and provide an existence proof for the multidimensional screening problem with general nonlinear preferences. We first formulate the principal's problem as a maximization problem with GG-convexity constraints and then use GG-convex analysis to prove existence.
