A Simulation-based Approximation Algorithm for Dynamic Marginal Cost Pricing
This work offers a simulation-based approximation algorithm for dynamic marginal cost pricing (MCP) that is a direct extension of static MCP. The algorithm approximates the time-dependent marginal costs, and is incorporated into the inner approximation dynamic user equilibrium algorithm to evaluate the results of dynamic MCP, which are then compared to static assignment results with MCP from pr...
متن کاملMarginal cost pricing versus insurance
The regulator of a natural monopoly that sets a two-part tariff and whose marginal cost is stochastic will generally want the price to vary less than marginal cost when the lump-sum charge in the tariff is fixed. A trade-off exists between efficient pricing and an optimal allocation of risk. Pricing at marginal cost is only optimal when the consumers marginal utility is independent of the pric...
متن کاملA Simulation-based Approach to Dynamic Pricing
By employing dynamic pricing, the act of changing prices over time within a marketplace, sellers have the potential to increase their revenue by selling goods to buyers "at the right time, at the right price." Software agents have been used in electronic commerce systems to assist buyers, but there is limited use of selling agents in today's markets. As dynamic pricing systems become necessary ...

متن کاملMarginal cost congestion pricing based on the network fundamental diagram
Congestion pricing schemes have been traditionally derived based on analytical representations of travel demand and traffic flows, such as in bottleneck models. A major limitation of these models, especially when applied to urban networks, is the inconsistency with traffic dynamics and related phenomena such as hysteresis and the capacity drop. In this study we propose a new method to derive ti...
