Hedonic Pricing under Uncertainty: A Theoretical Consumer Behavior Model
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
A model of consumer behavior has been formulated by using an additive utility function and the hedonic pricing approach, in a virtual market. Since, there is a time lag between ordering and purchasing products (goods and services) online and receiving them, it means the consumer makes decision under uncertainty. The level of satisfaction with products with distinctive characteristics is described by the probability vector of their expected quality. Consumer choice, as well as interpretation of the equilibrium, is derived from a mathematical process. The results show that hedonic pricing which indicates willingness to pay is affected by probabilities of the expected quality or satisfaction with product characteristics. In addition, the expected marginal rate of substitution for every two characteristics of the product equals to the ratio for probabilities of the expected quality of them.

Retailer Pricing Strategy and Consumer Choice under Price Uncertainty SHAI
Assuming consumers choose retailers based on their average price perceptions, previous research examined how different retailer pricing strategies (frequent discounting, deep discounting and everyday low pricing) influence these perceptions. In these studies, participants typically viewed competing retailer's product prices over multiple trials that simulated multiple shopping occasions. Then, ...

متن کاملDoes Uncertainty Matter? Consumer Behavior under Three-Part Tariffs
In communication, information, and other industries, three-part tariffs are becoming increasingly popular. A three-part tariff is defined by an access price, a usage allowance, and a marginal price for any usage in excess of the allowance. The nonlinear-pricing literature has focused primarily on two-part tariffs. We show that consumer behavior differs under three-part tariffs, in particular re...
متن کاملA Simple Theory of Asset Pricing under Model Uncertainty
The focus of our paper is on the implications of model uncertainty for the crosssectional properties of returns. We perform our analysis in the context of a tractable single-period mean-variance framework. We show that there is an uncertainty premium in equilibrium expected returns on financial assets and study how the premium varies across the assets. In particular, the cross-sectional distrib...
