Sales and consumer inventory
Temporary price reductions (sales) are common for many goods and naturally result in a large increase in the quantity sold. We explore whether the data support the hypothesis that these increases are, at least partly, due to demand anticipation: at low prices, consumers store for future consumption. This effect, if present, has broad economic implications. We test the predictions of an inventor...
متن کاملForest biomass and the science of inventory from space
To the Editor — In relation to the use of radar backscatter to estimate forest biomass, Woodhouse et al.1 state that our study2 provides an extreme example of a common analytical error, namely fitting a log function instead of a sigmoidal function. In fact, there is almost no difference between these functions, because the slope of the log function is very small in higher biomass ranges. Furthe...
متن کاملConsumer Species Richness and Autotrophic Biomass
We tested whether standing autotrophic (unicellular algal) biomass is sensitive to variation in initial consumer (nondecomposer, heterotrophic protistan) diversity in experimental microbial microcosms. Our results showed a strong, negative relationship between autotrophic biomass and consumer species richness. Additional microcosm experiments showed that this relationship was due largely to the...
متن کاملAsymmetric Consumer Learning and Inventory Competition
We develop a model of consumer learning and choice behavior in response to uncertain service at the marketplace. Learning could be asymmetric, i.e., consumers may associate different weights with positive and negative experiences. Under this consumer model, we characterize the steady-state distribution of demand for retailers given that each retailer holds constant in-stock service level. We th...
متن کاملFrom consumer choice to consumer welfare.
for patients with families. An adve cate for one person is morally d e barred fiom making decisions when more than one have legitimate interests at stake. We must, then, move beyond the ethics of the dyad or even the contemporary triad. Instead, we must learn to think in terms of family justice. Fairness to all concerned will be a major factor in determining both who should decide and also what...
