Abstract:Consider a continuous-time inventory problem in which a retailer sets the price on a fixed number of perishable asset that must be sold prior to the time at which it perishes. The retailer can dynamically adjust the price between any of a finite number of allowable prices. Demand for the product is Poisson with an intensity that is inversely related to the price. The optimal policy is piecewise-constant.
