Dynamic Pricing in a Competitive Environment

We present a dynamic optimization approach for perishable products in a competitive and dynamically changing market. We build a general optimization framework that ties together the competetive and the dynamic nature of pricing. This approach also allows differential pricing for large customers as...

description We present a dynamic optimization approach for perishable products in a competitive and dynamically changing market. We build a general optimization framework that ties together the competetive and the dynamic nature of pricing. This approach also allows differential pricing for large customers as well as demand learning for the seller. We analyze special cases of the model and illustrate the policies numerically.
