Some of this week’s interesting pricing articles from around the Web…
- Daniel Hamermesh of Freakonomics is visiting London and is impressed by Fortnum and Mason’s understanding of price discrimination.
- From my other blog, an article about pricing of online news and the optimal paywall strategy [long].
- Prices for princes: Interfluidity points out that price cannot simply be calculated by discounting future returns, if you are not sure whether you will actually own the future returns. This sort of question makes lots of pricing questions more complicated than classical economics would allow.
- xkcd explores some important pricing questions in a profound cartoon [warning: spoiler about Santa Claus]
