In recent years, enriching traditional revenue management models by considering the customer choice behavior has been a main challenge for researchers. The terminology for the airline application is used as representative of the problem. A popular and an efficient model considering these behaviors is choice-based deterministic linear programming (CDLP). This model assumes that each customer bel...

this study examines the responsible energy consumption of listed european hotels. hotel efficiency is estimated using a stochastic frontier analysis (sfa) production function, with supplies costs as the input and total revenue as the output. cluster analysis is used to group the hotels into homogeneous groups according to their efficiency level, size, or profitability. the results show that the...

Sports leagues constitute one of the few examples of legally operating cartels. In this paper I examine how gate revenue sharing may serve to coordinate talent investments within these cartels. I show that sharing revenues has the potential to raise cartel profits, because it decreases the incentive to invest in playing talent.

In prior literature, bidders’ budget constraints have been shown to change revenue and efficiency rankings among auction formats. These results, however, are based on the implicit assumption that the nature of the budget constraint is unaffected by auction rules. I extend the standard symmetric model of auctions for a single good to include principals responsible for deciding on the bidder’s bu...

The open source software movement is traditionally not affiliated to profit-oriented business behaviour.
