Competition in Pricing Algorithms

open access: yes, 2021
Increasingly, retailers have access to better pricing technology, especially in online markets. Using hourly data from five major online retailers, we show that retailers set prices at regular intervals that differ across firms. In addition, faster firms appear to use automated pricing rules that are functions of rivals' prices.

Making the Most of Your Samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We study the problem of setting a price for a potential buyer with a valuation drawn from an unknown distribution $D$. The seller has "data"' about $D$ in the form of $m \ge 1$ i.i.d.

ERA: A Framework for Economic Resource Allocation for the Cloud

open access: yes, 2017
Cloud computing has reached significant maturity from a systems perspective, but currently deployed solutions rely on rather basic economics mechanisms that yield suboptimal allocation of the costly hardware resources.

Strategic Choice of Price-Setting Algorithms

open access: yes, 2023
Recent experimental simulations have shown that autonomous pricing algorithms are able to learn collusive behavior and thus charge supra-competitive prices without being explicitly programmed to do so. These simulations assume, however, that both firms employ the identical price-setting algorithm based on Q-learning.

Mechanisms of consumer adaptation to algorithmic pricing

open access: yesУправленец
Algorithmic pricing poses challenges of price non-transparency and dynamics. The paper identifies and classifies the mechanisms of consumer adaptation to algorithmic pricing through integration of motives, practices, and contextual factors, as well as ...

Dynamic Shortest Paths Methods for the Time-Dependent TSP

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2021
The time-dependent traveling salesman problem (TDTSP) asks for a shortest Hamiltonian tour in a directed graph where (asymmetric) arc-costs depend on the time the arc is entered.

​Did a Non‐Medical Biosimilar Switching Policy Cause an Increase in Non‐Biologic/Biosimilar Health Care Resource Utilization or Cost in Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis?

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a series of policies that mandated switching patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) from an originator biologic to a biosimilar in British Columbia, Canada, on health care resource use and cost.
