Probabilistic Choice and Congestion Pricing with Heterogeneous Travellers and Price-Sensitive Demand

Congestion Pricing With Heterogeneous Travellers

Pricing and Prioritizing Time-Sensitive Customers with Heterogeneous Demand Rates

We consider the pricing/lead-time menu design problem for a monopoly service where time-sensitive customers have demand on multiple occasions. Customers differ in their demand rates and valuations per use. We compare a model where the demand rate is the private information of the buyers to a model where the firm has full information. The model assumes that customers queue for a finite-capacity ...

Two-echelon Supply Chain Considering Multiple Retailers with Price and Promotional Effort Sensitive Non-linear Demand

This study deals with the effects of a supply chain (SC) with single product, multiple retailers and a manufacturer, where the manufacturer(he) produces lotsize of the product that contains a random portion of imperfect quality item. The imperfect quality products are sold in a secondary shop. The new contribution of this paper is a new non-linear demand function. Demand of the end customers va...

Pricing Granularity for Congestion-Sensitive Pricing

One of the key issues for implementing congestion pricing is the pricing granularity (i.e. pricing interval or timescale). The Internet traffic is highly variant and hard to control without a mechanism that operates on very low time-scales, i.e. on the order of round-trip-times (RTTs). However, pricing naturally operates on very large timescales because of human involvement. Moreover, structure...

Retailer’s replenishment and pricing decisions for non-instantaneous deterioration and price-dependent demand

Abstract             In this research, an integrated inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items is analyzed when demand is sensitive to changes in price. The price used in this research is a time-dependent function of the initial selling price and the discount rate. To control the deterioration rate of items at the storage...
