Jason Pearcy's Research

I'm working on posting the papers online. In the meantime, let me know if you want a copy of a paper.

Publications

  • “Dynamic Pricing: When to Entice Brand Switching and When to Reward Consumer Loyalty” (with Yongmin Chen). RAND Journal of Economics, Vol. 41, No. 4 (2010), pp. 674-685. Available from Wiley Online
    • The technical appendix to the paper: Pearcy-Chen-DP-Appendix.pdf
    • Here are two Matlab programs you can use to easily and quickly replicate some of the results. I've also included the output from each program in case you don't have the required software. Each program requires Matlab with the symbolic toolbox running the Maple engine. Note that the newer MuPAD engine (R2008b onwards) is currently not backwards compatible.
    • To replicate Proposition 2 of the paper & Section H of the Technical Appendix: no_commitment.mno_commitment_output.pdf
    • To replicate Proposition 3 of the paper & Sections J & K of the Technical Appendix: commitment.mcommitment_output.pdf
