Stochastic Optimal Control For Online Seller Under Reputational Mechanisms, Milan Bradonij', Matthew Causley, Albert Cohen
Stochastic Optimal Control For Online Seller Under Reputational Mechanisms, Milan Bradonij', Matthew Causley, Albert Cohen
Mathematics Publications
In this work we propose and analyze a model which addresses the pulsing behavior of sellers in an online auction (store). This pulsing behavior is observed when sellers switch between advertising and processing states. We assert that a seller switches her state in order to maximize her profit, and further that this switch can be identified through the seller’s reputation. We show that for each seller there is an optimal reputation, i.e., the reputation at which the seller should switch her state in order to maximize her total profit. We design a stochastic behavioral model for an online seller, which …
