This paper examines how to evaluate consumer welfare when consumers face nonlinear prices. This problem arises in many settings, such as devising optimal pricing strategies for firms, assessing how price discrimination affects consumers, and evaluating the efficiency costs of many transfer programs

本文研究了消费者面临非线性定价时的消费者福利评估方法。该问题广泛存在于诸多场景中，例如为企业制定最优定价策略、评估价格歧视对消费者的影响，以及测算多项转移支付计划的效率成本。
