Intertemporal price discrimination and competition
In this study we investigate the impact of competition on markets for non-durable goods where intertemporal price discrimination is possible.

Surprisingly, we find that competition does not necessarily...

Optimal pricing involves temporary price reductions that enable sellers to discriminate between price sensitive consumers, who anticipate purchases for future consumption, and less p...

The results from the demand function suggest that the price elasticities of demand for particular appliances varied significantly, with households that utilize solar water heating being more price elastic than households that use...
