We analyze the incentives for incumbent bricks-and-mortar firms and newentrants to start an online retail channel in a differentiated goods market. Tothis end we set up a two-stage model where firms first decide whether or notto build the infrastructure necessary to start an online retail...

We analyze a market where firms compete in a conventional and an electronicretail channel. Consumers easily compare prices online, but some incur purchaseuncertainties on the online channel. We investigate the market shares of the two retailchannels and the prices that are charged. We find that...

In this chapter we discuss a tactical optimisation problem that arises in a multistage distribution system where customer orders can be delivered from any stockpoint. A simple rule to allocate orders to locations is a break quantity rule, which routes large orders to higher-stage stockpoints and...

This paper proposes an alternative, dynamic framework for estimatingtime-varying values of travel time savings and … values of schedule delay, in whichtime-preferences are represented as the time-varying excess willingness to pay(EWPT) to … being in the one location, over being elsewhere. It is shown how theconventional linear model, with time-independent values …

Most evidence of hyperbolic discounting is based on violations of either stationarity or time consistency as observed … in choice experiments. These choice reversals may however also result from time-varying discount rates. Hyperbolic … discounting is a plausible explanation for choice reversals only if violations of stationarity and time consistency overlap. Our …

weighted temporal utility function can have time consistent yet non-stationary preferences or stationary yet time inconsistent … intertemporal choice that assume non-linear time perception to be the sole driver of non-stationary and time-inconsistent behavior …

passengers exhibit a higher time valuation, and a less price-elastic demand, than leisure passengers. Our main result is the … identification of the time-valuation effect of price discrimination, which can work in the opposite direction as the well …-known output effect on welfare. This time-valuation effect clearly explains why discriminating prices can improve welfare even when …
