New pricing model optimizes trees and demand for higher revenue

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Optimal Choice Model Trees with Multinomial Logit leaves (OCMT-MNL), a novel method for feature-based multi-product pricing that jointly optimizes the tree structure and demand models. This approach significantly improves upon existing greedy methods by reducing computational costs and achieving better revenue outcomes. In a large-scale field experiment involving airline ancillary seat pricing, OCMT-MNL demonstrated a statistically significant increase in revenue per passenger compared to static pricing strategies.

IMPACT This research could lead to more dynamic and profitable pricing strategies in e-commerce and other industries by better understanding customer behavior.
