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.

Two-period dynamic versus fixed-ratio pricing in a capacity constrained duopoly

TL;DR: Although dynamic pricing is a more sophisticated policy than fixed-ratio pricing, it may lead to decreased equilibrium profits and the supply demand ratio has more impact on the outcome of the competition than the heterogeneity in consumer reservation prices.
