APPLICATION OF GAME THEORY IN DYNAMIC COMPETITIVE PRICING WITH ONE PRICE LEADER AND N DEPENDENT FOLLOWERS
Authors
Abstract:
In this research UF cheese pricing is considered and Pegah, Pak, Kaleh, Rouzaneh and Mihan firms’ data, as five main UF cheese competitive firms of Iran in breakfast cheese competitive market, is used. By using these firm’s sales data, production data and price of each ton of UF cheese in nineteen work-periods (each work-period is 6 months), their sales equations are estimated for each work-period. With the objective of minimizing the difference between each firm’s sales in each work-period and each firm’s target sales in the same work-period, optimal prices are calculated in 4 states: static games with complete information, dynamic games with complete information with one leader and four followers that decide simultaneously, dynamic games with complete information with one leader and four followers that decide simultaneously considering that Rouzaneh and Mihan firms collude in their product pricing, dynamic games with complete information with one leader and four followers considering that followers collude in their product pricing.

Dynamic Competitive Supply Chain Network Design with Price Dependent Demand and Huff Utility Function
This paper develops a two-stage model to consider a franchise/franchisee environment in which supply chains are simultaneously entering the untapped market to produce either identical or highly substitutable products and give franchise to franchisees. Customer demand is elastic, price dependent and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity rule model. The supply chains, in the first st...
full textCompetitive dynamic pricing with alternating offers: Theory and experiment
We propose a model of duopolistic dynamic pricing in which a buyer alternates between two sellers for price offers over a finite season. The game ends when the buyer accepts a price offer or the season is over, whichever comes first. Previous research (Granot, Granot, and Mantin 2007) shows that there are successive markdowns in equilibrium when the buyer is myopic; our analysis reveals that a ...
full textCooperative 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...
full textDynamic Pricing in Competitive Markets
Dynamic pricing of goods in a competitive environment to maximize revenue is a natural objective and has been a subject of research over the years. In this paper, we focus on a class of markets exhibiting the substitutes property with sellers having divisible and replenishable goods. Depending on the prices chosen, each seller observes a certain demand which is satisfied subject to the supply c...

The problem of computing the strategy to commit to has been widely investigated in the scientific literature for the case where a single follower is present. In the multi-follower setting though, results are only sporadic. In this paper, we address the multi-follower case for normal-form games, assuming that, after observing the leader’s commitment, the followers play pure strategies and reach ...
full textPricing in a two-echelon supply chain with different market powers: game theory approaches
In this research, the optimal pricing decisions for two complementary products in a two-echelon supply chain under two scenarios are studied. The proposed supply chain in each echelon includes one retailer and two manufacturers and the same complementary products are produced. In the first scenario, we assume the unit manufacturing costs of the complementary products in each echelon are the sam...
