Hedonic Pricing under Uncertainty: A Theoretical Consumer Behavior Model

نویسندگان

چکیده مقاله:

A model of consumer behavior has been formulated by using an additive utility function and the hedonic pricing approach, in a virtual market. Since, there is a time lag between ordering and purchasing products (goods and services) online and receiving them, it means the consumer makes decision under uncertainty. The level of satisfaction with products with distinctive characteristics is described by the probability vector of their expected quality. Consumer choice, as well as interpretation of the equilibrium, is derived from a mathematical process. The results show that hedonic pricing which indicates willingness to pay is affected by probabilities of the expected quality or satisfaction with product characteristics. In addition, the expected marginal rate of substitution for every two characteristics of the product equals to the ratio for probabilities of the expected quality of them.

Does Uncertainty Matter? Consumer Behavior under Three-Part Tariffs

In communication, information, and other industries, three-part tariffs are becoming increasingly popular. A three-part tariff is defined by an access price, a usage allowance, and a marginal price for any usage in excess of the allowance. The nonlinear-pricing literature has focused primarily on two-part tariffs. We show that consumer behavior differs under three-part tariffs, in particular re...

A Simple Theory of Asset Pricing under Model Uncertainty

The focus of our paper is on the implications of model uncertainty for the crosssectional properties of returns. We perform our analysis in the context of a tractable single-period mean-variance framework. We show that there is an uncertainty premium in equilibrium expected returns on financial assets and study how the premium varies across the assets. In particular, the cross-sectional distrib...
