Assessing the Value of Dynamic Pricing in Network Revenue Management

چکیده
Dynamic pricing for a network of resources over a finite selling horizon has received considerable attention in recent years, yet few papers provide effective computational approaches to solve the problem. We consider a resource decomposition approach to solve the problem and investigate the performance of the approach in a computational study. We compare the performance of the approach to static pricing and choice-based availability control. Our numerical results show that dynamic pricing policies from network resource decomposition can achieve significant revenue lift compared with choice-based availability control and static pricing, even when the latter is frequently resolved. As a by-product of our approach, network decomposition provides an upper bound in revenue, which is provably tighter than the well-known upper bound from a deterministic approximation.

Cooperative network flow problem with pricing decisions and allocation of benefits: A game theory approach
Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...

Non-uniform distribution of customers in a region and variation of their maximum willingness to pay at distinct areas make regional pricing a practical method to maximize the profit of the distribution system. By subtracting the classic objective function, which minimizes operational costs from revenue function, profit maximization is aimed. A distribution network is designed by determining the...
