The paper studies the degree of international price dispersion for 300 individual goods and services between cities of three country groups over 1999 and 2013, focusing on the role of oil prices in generating deviations from the law of one price. We find that while oil prices did not contribute to the trend in cross-country price dispersion, it does account for within-country price dispersion. Once the oil price effect is subtracted out, the remaining price dispersion between U.S. cities no longer exhibits a noticeable upward trend. If oil prices increase transportation costs, they should increase the deviations from the law of one price, raising price dispersion. Our findings indicate that this effect is more pronounced within a country, while factors such as elasticity of substitution and other trade barriers are likely to matter more in price dispersion across borders. We view our results as complementary to those that emphasize the role of time-varying factors in accounting for price dispersion.

Oil and LNG products are characterized by the facts that the raw materials are all imported and financing is dependent heavily upon foreign countries. This makes the oil and LNG products sensitive to changes in foreign exchange rates. However, the extent to which they respond to changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly the extent of price changes, vary considerably, due to the differences in the structures of price determination. The purposes of this paper are twofolds. The first one is to analyze the structures of price determination of diesel, heavy oil, and LNG. The second one is to analyze the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on the prices of and price competitiveness of the fuels in question through the sensitivity analysis. The results of the sensitivity analysis indicate that diesel price is most sensitive and heavy oil price is least sensitive to changes in foreign exchange rates.

In recent, many consumers visit the online shopping malls or price comparison sites to collect the information on the product category that they are interested in. However, the volumes of the data provided by such web sites are often too enormous, and significant number of consumers have trouble in making purchase decision based on the plethora of products and sellers. In this context, modern online shopping agents need to process the retrieved information in more intelligent way before providing them to the users. This paper proposes a novel approach for identifying the main price ranges hidden in a single product category. To this end, the price of an item in the category is represented as a row vector and k-means clustering analysis is applied to the price vectors to produce the clusters that consists of the product items with similar price vectors. Then, the main price ranges of the product category can be identified from the result of clustering analysis. In general, the price is one of the most important factors in the consumers' purchase decision, and the identified main price ranges will be helpful for the online shoppers to find appropriate items effectively.

This study investigated the effect of symbolic meanings of the artwork objectives on auction price. Based on Buck(1948)'s House-Tree-People(H-T-P) model, we hypothesized that symbolic meanings of these objectives invoke preferences of bidders and increase the price. Using 402 auction price data from June 2010 to May 2011, we found that an artwork including house and people tend to be auctioned off at a higher prices than the artwork without them. This study confirmed that Buck's model can be used to determine artwork price, suggesting that symbolic objectives in the artwork do affect its price.

As an increasing number of cloud service providers begin to provide cloud computing services, they form a competitive market to compete for users. Due to different resource configurations and service workloads, users may observe different response times for their service requests and experience different levels of service quality. To compete for cloud users, it is crucial for each cloud service provider to determine an optimal price that best corresponds to their service qualities while also guaranteeing maximum profit. To achieve this goal, the underlying rationale and characteristics in this competitive market must be clarified. In this paper, we analyze price competition in the multimedia cloud service market with two service providers. We characterize the nature of non-cooperative games in a duopoly multimedia cloud service market with the goal of capturing how each cloud service provider determines its optimal price to compete with the other and maximize its own profit. To do this, we introduce a queueing model to characterize the service process in a multimedia cloud data center. Based on performance measures of the proposed queueing model, we suggest a price competition problem in a duopoly multimedia cloud service market. By solving this problem, we can obtain the optimal equilibrium prices.

In order to discuss the implications for demographic changes due to an aging society, this study sought to verify the effect of generational age with a focus on the case of the national housing scale transaction in Seoul Seocho-gu. For the result, variance and linear regression analysis, and when the analysis showed a significant correlation between age and transaction price, and corrected the trading region and year, it was also confirmed that the higher the age in most regions, the lower the trading price tendency. Based on the results of this analysis, efforts to improve the adequacy and fairness of pricing in trading cases, and the direction of policy change due to the aging of the population were discussed, and on the basis of this, we even proposed measures for the support of the policy authorities. In addition, the management condition of individual communal houses was an important factor in the sale and the lack of utilization of Internet-based platforms was expected to be the cause of the low price sale. However, due to the use of 2nd order data on real trading cases, the direction of subsequent research was presented together with respect to the limitations of not being able to control a wider variety of individual characteristics.

As part of their marketing policy, some suppliers allow retailers a period of credit in anticipation of increasing demand for the products they supply. The opportunity to defer payments on products through credit transactions has the effect of reducing retailers' inventory investment costs, and as a result, retailers determine selling prices in anticipation of increased demand from buyers. This study aims to analyze the inventory model that determines the retailer's selling price and EOQ(Economic Order Quantity) under the assumption that the buyer's demand is an exponentially decreasing function of the retailer's selling price in the credit transaction supply chain consisting of suppliers, retailers, and buyers. The products supplied for problem analysis include the case of deteriorating products that deteriorate over time, and the effect of the credit transaction period, the index of price elasticity and the degree of deterioration on the retailer's selling price and EOQ is analyzed.

PSM is widely used pricing tool in field by the reason of data collection convenience and analytical intuitiveness. However, In high involvement environment, strategic respondent bias influence in reducing the price. By using 3 empirical cases of LH apartment for sale, We found that latent consumers' recognition of the range of acceptable and the range of optimal price are lower than real estate agent representative respondents'. This phenomenon is considered loss aversion effect of prospect theory to reduce loss by reducing price, and more influenced in high involvement situation than latent consumer respondents'. Also we found PSM result using real estate representative data is more useful in real market than latent consumers data distorted by loss aversion effects. The meaning of this study is finding some limitation in PSM using consumer data generally used. In further study, development of PSM measurement tool to minimize the effect of strategic bias are need to be studied. Also some new approaches in reinterpretation of the range of acceptable price and the range of optimal price are need to be followed.
