French

Domaine(s)
  • Prix (Commercialisation)
CONT

En économie industrielle, on désigne par tarif binôme ([en anglais :] «two-part tariff») un prix composé d'une partie fixe (un abonnement ou une franchise) et d'une partie proportionnelle à la quantité de bien acheté. Le tarif binôme est très employé en organisation industrielle car il constitue le cas le plus simple de prix qui ne soit pas linéaire en la quantité de bien acheté. De plus, on peut montrer que quand l'information n'est pas trop incomplète, il permet à un principal d'éviter le problème de double marginalisation (le fait qu'un détaillant en monopole fixe un prix plus élevé que celui qui maximiserait le profit du fabricant dont il revend le bien).

Record 8 1984-07-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pricing (Electricity)
CONT

One price structure that is generally consistent with economic efficiency is referred to as the two or, more generally, the multi-block tariff. This approach is based on the fact that efficiency requires that price equal marginal cost only for the last unit purchased, so that the price of intramarginal units can be adjusted. For example, under a declining cost situation, with a two-part tariff structure there could be a lump sum or hookup charge and then all units sold would be priced at marginal cost. However, too high a lump sum charge may prevent some customers from purchasing service at all. To avoid this problem a multi-block declining tariff could be used. The last or "tailing" block rate would be set at marginal cost.
