Nonlinear pricing abounds in practice because it is a potentially powerful pricing method to explore consumer surplus. The various forms of nonlinear pricing are feasible within a given industry. In this context, it is important for manufacturers and retailers to understand which nonlinear pricing scheme is appropriate to apply in their specific situation and which nonlinear pricing schedule is the most profitable in their market situation. Although the merits of nonlinear pricing are well documented, the attempt to apply nonlinear pricing in medical service has been relatively rare. The researcher aims to try to full this gap by applying a practice-oriented simulation model to health examination data. We compare the sales volumes among nonlinear pricing scheme such as n-block tariff, two-part tariff, and uniform pricing. We found that n-block tariff outperforms two-part tariff and uniform pricing.

The explosive growth in wireless networks and Internet services has created considerable demand for mobile Internet services based on the mobile phone. Mobile Internet has become the new business model in telecommunication market, therefore the open network policy for mobile Internet has been formulated and implemented by the government in Korea. In spite of the open network policy for mobile Internet, there has been no systematic analysis of the various interconnection issues, including pricing, in mobile Internet network. This paper aims to suggest the interconnection pricing methods for mobile Internet network by reviewing the current pricing models for various communications services, and adapting them to mobile Internet communications circumstances. Results of this paper can be used as a guideline for government policy directions and management decision making after the introduction of the open network policy for mobile Internet.

한국은 시장 메커니즘에 기반한 탄소가격정책 도입을 통해 에너지 및 기후 변화 정책의 패러다임 전환을 시도하고 있다. 그러나 정책 도입이 진행되는 동안 탄소가격정책은 정책 대상인 산업계로부터의 큰 반대에 직면해 왔다. 본 연구는 국내 배출권거래제도의 도입에 대한 논의가 활발했던 2012년 초에 에너지 다소비 기업을 대상으로 실시한 설문 조사 결과를 토대로 한국 기업의 탄소가격정책에 대한 이해도와 수용정도를 측정하였다. 또한 기업의 탄소 및 에너지 관리를 위한 활동과 정책 이해 및 수용 정도와의 관계, 나아가 주요 결정요인을 분석하여 정책 시사점을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 한국 기업은 에너지 절약 및 온실가스 저감을 위한 경제적 인센티브 정책에 보다 우호적이며 기존의 관련 규제정책을 일부 수용하나, 탄소가격정책에 대해서는 현 시점에서 보통정도의 이해도와 낮은 수용정도를 보였다. 각 기업의 정책 이해 정도는 외부 압력보다는 기업의 특성, 즉 업종이나 규모 등과 더 관련이 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 정부 정책에 기업 특성이 고려되어야 한다는 시사점을 제시하고 있다. 한편, 이 연구는 기업의 정책 이해도는 정책 수락을 높이고 관련 활동을 촉진하는데 중요한 요소이며, 특히, 탄소 정책에 대한 높은 이해도는 기업의 탄소 관리 및 자발적 활동에 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있다는 점을 밝히고 있다. 본 연구 결과에 비추어 한국 정부는 시장 메커니즘에 대한 충분한 이해가 대상기업 전반에서 얻어지도록 지원 방안을 강구 해야 한다. 한편, 기후 변화에 대응하여 탄소가격정책을 도입하려는 국가 및 지역이 늘어나고 있는 가운데, 기업의 정책 수용과 참여를 높여 제도의 원활한 도입과 시행 그리고 본연의 성과를 거두기 위해, 본 연구의 결과는 해당 지역의 정부에게도 의미가 있는 것으로 보인다.

This research objective is to determine the optimal price break points for n­block tariff, because comparing non­linear pricing with uniform pricing on the basis of profit, n­block tariff outperforms two­part tariff, all unit discount price schedule, and uniform pricing. Although the merits of non­linear pricing are well documented, the attempt to practice the non-linear pricing in medical service sector has been relatively rare. The determination of the parameters under n­block tariff is the interesting decision making agenda for marketers. Under n­block tariff, the marketers should decide the optimal price break points and the optimal marginal price for each price zone. The results can be summarized as follows: The researchers found that mixture model can be the feasible methodology for determining the optimal number of n­block tariff and identifying the optimal segmentation criteria. We demonstrate the feasibility and the superiority of the mixture model by applying it to the database of medical examination. The results appear that the number of patients per month can be the optimal segmentation variable. And 6­block tariff is the optimal price break for this medical service.

In this paper, we consider an economic order quantity(EOQ) and an optimal discount pricing policy for the monopsony related to the weapon system acquisition. In the monopsony case, a buyer wishes to maximize the profit. However, a seller wants to minimize the total inventory related cost since a buyer can determine the purchase price for the product. We develop a generalized version of EOQ model for the monopsony, including one seller-one buyer model and two seller-one buyer model. A model of buyer reaction to any given pricing scheme is developed to show that there exits a unified pricing policy which motivates the buyer to increase its ordering quantity per order, thereby reducing the joint(buyer and seller) ordering and holding costs in the system.

Demand side management(DSM) is the newly raised issues in the water resources management in recent. Many of the policy tools among demand management, the most important measures might be a pricing system. Furthermore, the responses of consumers on the price for water consumption level is the key factor for policy making. Here, we estimated panel data for 167 regions and over 7 years periods in Korea. Compare to other previous studies the price elasticities were somewhat low. The estimated price elasticity was -0.05. It was because the short term estimated period may derive lower elasticities. However, it might be a recent trend after the continuous increment of water pricing and consumers not willing to decrease their residential water consumption with increasing water pricing. According to this results, water saving effect might be much smaller than we expect with pricing policy. However, It does not imply there is no price effects on water consumption and it's still meaningful as a tool of water management.

The optional market segmentation pricing policy for rooms of hotels are investigated under the assumption of a linear demand function, and for four different situations: (1) single price market, (2) optimal segmentation of the unused capacity of a single-price-maeket, (3) optimal segmantation for all rooms, and (4) opimal segmentation for infiltration from higher priced to adjacent lower priced segments. The purpose of tis study is th show that with proper pricing policy, it would be possible to increase profits considerably. Such a profit increase might be achived by market segmentation coupled with product differentiation, where the different market segments are identified, sperated, and in each segment a different price per room is called for. The different prices are determined based on the specific price elasticity typical for each market segment and the relavant costs. The pricing model implied in this study is based on basic economic pricing theory and optimization techniques. While somewhat complex in its mathmatical solution, it can be easily programmed for use by practitioners, avoiding the need to cope with the technical aspects of the solution. In section II-1, the optimal single-market Single-price policy is evaluated. The optimal strategy under the constraint that only the previously unutilized rooms are segmented is analysed in section II-2, while the optimal strategy without this constraint is determined in section II-3. In section II-4, the optimal market-segmentation pricing policy is derived for the case in which market seperation is allowed for all the rooms under the assumption of custtomer infiltration from each market segment to the adjacent lower priced segment Finally, some considerations relating to the practicality of the model as a decision support tool and the requirements for its implementation are discussed in section III.

Korea electric power industry had been under vertical monopoly but is typically getting restructured for free competition. An ideal pricing system under the competitive market system is 'unbundled pricing system' and 'marginal pricing system', but the current pricing system still adheres to the traditional bundled system and the average cost pricing system. Especially, progressive electricity rates for residential use reflect governmental policy-making which is focused on income redistribution & welfare, industrial supports and energy saving. This study proposes new and reasonable residential electricity pricing systems which are Time-Of-Use (TOU) and Real-Time Pricing (RTP) to reflect variations in the wholesale price of electricity. It also presents examples of various tariffs for residential electricity pricing systems.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a supplier and buyer's pricing decision strategy model with discount-policy over a long-term replenishment contract in a supply chain environment by small and medium size manufacturing company. We assume that the buyer has a superior economic power over a supplier and each agent in a supply chain is unaware of each other. The supplier proposes pricing decision strategy to induce the buyer to choose the terms of contract for the benefit of the supplier. Then buyer decides the terms of contract to maximize her profit considering supplier's discount-policy. We also present a numerical example to illustrate the efficiency of pricing decision strategy.

한국은 2015년부터 총 국가배출량의 60%를 차지하는 탄소 배출권 거래제를 시행하고 있다. 선진국에서 탄소가격 정책은 다양한 사회경제적 구성 집단 사이의 소득 불균형을 심화시키는 것으로 밝혀진 바 있다. 현재 한국 사회는 분배적인 문제뿐 아니라, 에너지 안보, 기후변화 대응, 경제 성장 등 다양한 과제에 직면하고 있다. 이런 상황에서 탄소가격정책이 소득 분배적인 측면에 미칠 영향을 분석하고, 이 분석결과를 바탕으로 대응책을 마련할 필요가 있다. 가계동향조사자료와 환경투입산출분석(EEIO)을 이용해 분석한 결과 저소득 가구, 노인가구와 도시가구가 탄소가격정책으로 인해 상대적으로 무거운 부담을 지는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 세수의 일부가 가구에 재분배 될 경우 이러한 부담은 경감될 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.
