A new research paper explores the design of strategic buying agents for online shopping, focusing on how these agents can make optimal purchase decisions within a given time frame. The study outlines policies for three information regimes: stationary, Bayesian, and robust, with each regime yielding different optimal strategies based on price observations, time horizons, and beliefs about future price changes. The research evaluates these policies using Amazon price histories, suggesting that while language models are better suited for selecting regimes, the proposed policies offer competitive consumer surplus.
