We present an experiment designed to investigate the presence and nature of ordering effects within repeated response stated preference studies. We formulate a general structural model of such effects and use this to isolate signature patterns for position-dependent effects (learning about...

In this thesis, we develop a SKU level market basket model and apply the model to investigate cross-category reference price effects. This research extends previous work on the category-level multivariate logit model (Russell and Petersen 2000). Our model is a generalization of the multivariate...

Part one of the thesis studies differential diagnosticity towards substantive extrinsic information available in the environment. This research tests the interaction between regulatory focus and availability of extrinsic-substantive information such as consensus information, on the range of...

Objective: To compare statins according to the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics within the drug class and to perform the comprehensive analysis of statins consumption in Lithuania between 2005 and 2007 years. Methods: MEDLINE database was searched to identify and evaluate all...

We evaluate reference price models with regard to their ability to explain brand choices of individual households. Reference price models are of the adaptive expectations and extrapolative expectations types. Brand choice is analyzed by means of multinomial logit (MNL) models....

In many firms the pricing and inventory control functions are separated. However, a number of theoretical models suggest a joint determination of inventory levels and prices, as prices also affect stocking risks. In this work, we address the problem of simultaneously determining a pricing and...

Objectives: Online auctions have emerged as a major opportunity for individuals to start businesses or for established businesses to diversify and grow their markets. To-date, research interest has focused largely on the technological entrepreneur rather than the Internet based (cyber)...

A large amount of literature in the field of social psychology and product pricing discusses the role of reference prices in affecting buyer's price perception and purchase intention. Reference price denotes a standard against which the consumer compares the offer price of a product. In this...

Kern dieses Working Papers ist die Prüfung eines staatlichen Kaufverbots von Agrarerzeugnissen und Lebensmitteln unterhalb der Herstellungskosten. In Deutschland gibt es seit ein paar Jahren eine erhebliche politische Diskussion hierzu, die sich schließlich im Koalitionsvertrag der...

In this paper we first show that the gains achievable by integrating pricing and inventory control are usually small for classical demand functions. We then introduce reference price models and demonstrate that for this class of demand functions the benefits of integration with inventory control...
