We show that a monopolist's problem of optimal advance selling strategy can be mathematically transformed into a problem of optimal bundling strategy if four conditions hold: i. consumers and the firm agree on the probability of the states occurring, ii. the firm pre-commits to the spot prices...

We show that bundling and advance selling are equivalent when the consumers and the seller agree on the probability of each possible state of nature occurring and are risk-neutral, and when the seller can pre-commit to spot prices to be charged after the uncertainty about the state of nature is...
