چکیده

Modeling the demand for a portfolio of products as a function of price is a classical problem in operations with applications in retail and revenue management. Retailers have started to change their products’ prices frequently giving them access to vast amounts of data on aggregate sales at different price configurations. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, the price of a microwave oven has been changed at least nine times on Amazon.com and at least twice at Best Buy during the course of a typical day. [Angwin and Mattioli, 2012]. In contrast to a “sale” or a “promotion”, these intra-day price changes are frequent, may move in either direction (positive or negative), and have magnitudes that are relatively small ranging from 1% -10% of the base price. It is clear that the price changes have be set optimally, and doing that requires us to accurately predict demand as a function of prices.

Sensitivity Analysis in Two-Stage DEA

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) which uses a set of inputs to produce a set of outputs. In some cases, DMUs have a two-stage structure, in which the first stage utilizes inputs to produce outputs used as the inputs of the second stage to produce final outputs. One important issue in two-stage DEA is the sensitivity of...

Modeling Unobserved Consideration Sets for Household Panel Data Erjen

We propose a new method to model consumers' consideration and choice processes. We develop a parsimonious probit type model for consideration and a multinomial probit model for choice, given consideration. Unlike earlier models of consideration ours is not prone to the curse of dimensionality, while we allow for very general structures of unobserved dependence in consideration among brands. In ...
