TLDR
In this paper, a review of the literature and current practices in dynamic pricing is presented, where the focus is on dynamic (intertemporal) pricing in the presence of inventory considerations.
Abstract
The benefits of dynamic pricing methods have long been known in industries, such as airlines, hotels, and electric utilities, where the capacity is fixed in the short-term and perishable. In recent years, there has been an increasing adoption of dynamic pricing policies in retail and other industries, where the sellers have the ability to store inventory. Three factors contributed to this phenomenon: (1) the increased availability of demand data, (2) the ease of changing prices due to new technologies, and (3) the availability of decision-support tools for analyzing demand data and for dynamic pricing. This paper constitutes a review of the literature and current practices in dynamic pricing. Given its applicability in most markets and its increasing adoption in practice, our focus is on dynamic (intertemporal) pricing in the presence of inventory considerations.

Dynamic pricing of substitutable products with limited inventories under logit demand

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the dynamic pricing of two substitutable products over a predetermined, finite selling season, where the initial inventory levels of the products are fixed exogenously and there are no replenishment opportunities during the season.

The profit-maximization model for a multi-item distribution channel

TL;DR: Four profit-maximization models are formulated by considering the effects of channel coordination and a joint replenishment program on the supply-side cost control, taking into account the effect of the pricing scheme on demand and revenue increments.

The impact of dynamic pricing on the economic order decision

TL;DR: Numerical examples show that the benefits of dynamic pricing in an EOQ framework can be achieved with only a few price changes and that products being unprofitable under static pricing may become profitable under dynamic pricing.

Auctions and Bidding

TL;DR: Hayek as mentioned in this paper argued that the problem of rational economic order is determined by the fact that the knowledge of the circumstances of which we must make use never exists in concentrated or integrated form but solely as the dispersed bits of incomplete and frequently contradictory knowledge which all the separate individuals possess.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the nature of cartel self-enforcement in the presence of demand uncertainty and present a model of a non-cooperatively supported cartel, and the aspects of industry structure which would make such a cartel viable.
