Algorithmic pricing and competition: Empirical evidence from the German retail gasoline market
We provide the first empirical analysis of the relationship between algorithmic pricing (AP)
and competition by studying the impact of adoption in Germany's retail gasoline market …

Algorithmic Collusion by Large Language Models
The rise of algorithmic pricing raises concerns of algorithmic collusion. We conduct
experiments with algorithmic pricing agents based on Large Language Models (LLMs), and …

Algorithmic competition, with humans
M Leisten - Available at SSRN 4733318, 2024 - papers.ssrn.com
I model algorithmic pricing as an automated rule that maps a rival's prices to the firm's own. I
introduce managerial override, allowing managers to override these rules after they are …

Dynamic Price Competition with Capacity Constraints
We study dynamic price competition between sellers offering differentiated products with
limited capacity and a common sales deadline. In every period, firms simultaneously set …

Algorithms can learn to collude: A folk theorem from learning with bounded rationality
We use a generalization of smooth fictitious play with bounded m-memory strategies to
model learning with bounded rationality. With this learning model, we prove a Folk theorem …

Buyer-Optimal Algorithmic Consumption
S Ichihashi, A Smolin - Available at SSRN 4635866, 2023 - papers.ssrn.com
We analyze a bilateral trade model in which the buyer's value for the product and the seller's
costs are uncertain, the seller chooses the product price, and the product is recommended …

The effect of demand variability on the adoption and design of a third party's pricing algorithm
JE Harrington Jr - Economics Letters, 2024 - Elsevier
Consider a data analytics company supplying a pricing algorithm that adjusts price to a
changing demand state. For this setting, I show the pricing algorithm is designed and priced …
