Optimal Spatial Pricing Strategies with Transportation Costs
We consider an optimization problem in a given region Q where an agent has to decide the price p(x) of a product for every x ∈ Q. The customers know the pricing pattern p and may shop at any place y, paying the cost p(y) and additionally a transportation cost c(x, y) for a given transportation cost function c. We will study two models: the first one where the agent operates everywhere on Q and ...
متن کاملFuzzy Transportation Problem with Random Transportation Costs
We consider the following transportation problem with both random and fuzzy factors. There exist m supply points and n demand points. For each route between supply point and demand point, unit transportation cost is a random variable according to a normal distribution and existence possibility denoting the preference choosing this route is attached. The probability that the total transportation...
متن کاملNber Working Paper Series Transportation Costs and the Spatial Organization of Economic Activity
This paper surveys the theoretical and empirical literature on the relationship between the spatial distribution of economic activity and transportation costs. We develop a multi-region model of economic geography that we use to understand the general equilibrium implications of transportation infrastructure improvements within and between locations for wages, population, trade and industry com...
متن کاملSpatial transportation networks with transfer costs: asymptotic optimality of hub-and-spoke models
Consider networks on n vertices at average density 1 per unit area. We seek a network that minimizes total length subject to some constraint on journey times, averaged over sourcedestination pairs. Suppose journey times depend on both route-length and number of hops. Then for the constraint corresponding to an average of 3 hops, the length of the optimal network scales as n13/10. Alternatively,...
