Abstract

A customer choice model, based on the Markov Chain Choice Model with reservation prices, is proposed to solve the problem of finding optimal selling prices for substitutable products. The model includes both customers’ willingness to pay and substitution behavior explicitly, and can handle any type of correlation between products. A discrete version of the model is formulated and solved to optimality. This discrete model is instrumental in a simulation procedure to estimate optimal reservation prices in the original continuous model.
