Recent developments in dynamic pricing research: multiple products, competition, and limited demand information

M Chen, ZL Chen - Production and Operations Management, 2015 - journals.sagepub.com
Dynamic pricing enables a firm to increase revenue by better matching supply with demand,
responding to shifting demand patterns, and achieving customer segmentation. In the last 20 …

Mostly exploration-free algorithms for contextual bandits

H Bastani, M Bayati, K Khosravi - Management Science, 2021 - pubsonline.informs.org
