W study a firm’s optimal pricing policy under commitment. The firm’s objective is to maximize its longterm average revenue given a steady arrival of strategic customers. In particular, customers arrive over time, are strategic in timing their purchases, and are heterogeneous along two dimensions: their valuation for the firm’s product and their willingness to wait before purchasing or leaving. ...

In this paper, a novel resilient multi-echelon closed-loop location-allocation-inventory problem (RMCLIP) is addressed that optimizes strategic and tactical decisions simultaneously.

Considering the capability of returning the ...

We assume that the seller knows only the support of the customers’ valuations and do not make any other distributional assumptio...
