Pricing Computer Services Under Alternative Control Structures: Tradeoffs and Trends

摘要: This paper extends the analysis of long-run pricing and capacity decision problem for shared computer services by Dewan Mendelson 1990 makes two further contributions. First, we show that simple marginal cost is often optimal in absence private user information, it outperforms recovery profit center methods. Second, provide insights into implications declining computing costs on tradeoff between time. In equilibrium, expected delay are bounded due to substitution cheaper information processing valuable
