Multi-period optimization with loss-averse customer behavior: Joint pricing and inventory decisions with stochastic demand

作者:

Highlights:

• We also provide a framework for building the expert system from the perspective of behavior science.

• We develop a multi-period demand model with loss-averse customer.

• We analyze periodic-review inventory system under loss-averse behavior.

• We show that high loss aversion intensity decreases the profit.

• If the firm cannot realize the existence of customers behavior, it loses profit.
