报告摘要：This talk consists of two papers. In the first paper “managerial regret and inventory pricing,” we study a regretful seller’s problem of selling a fixed number of goods over a finite and known time horizon. The seller engages in counterfactual thinking to compare her selected price with other forgone alternatives. If a forgone alternative (ex post) generates a better outcome than the selected one, then the seller experiences regret. Interestingly, we find that the seller who has a greater number of goods does not necessarily receive greater revenue. In the second paper “mental accounting in allocating capacity,” we study a seller’s problem of allocating a limited resource to different customer segments who arrive sequentially. In this context, the seller engages inmental accounting by valuing revenue from different customers differently. In particular, the seller may overvalue or undervalue future consumers. Interestingly, we find that the sellers endowed with an additional customer segment do not necessarily have a higher revenue, depending on the type of mental accounting.
