Study improves retail demand forecasting by integrating macroeconomic data.
Study finds consumers are more price-sensitive before livestreams than after.
New method estimates consumer surplus from randomized pricing data.
Dynamic pricing aims to match power supply and demand in an energy transition.
CROCS clusters consumer behaviour from smart meters, capturing variability and robustness.
Learning customer preferences from an observed behaviour is an important topic in the marketing literature. Structural models typically model forward-looking customers or firms as utility-maximizing agents whose utility is estimated using methods of Stochastic Optimal Control. We suggest an alternative approach to stud…
Paper tackles online learning for DR management with incentives.
New method learns credit prices offline without interaction.
Predicts next item in sequential bundles using Transformers.
In coming years residential consumers will face real-time electricity tariffs with energy prices varying day to day, and effective energy saving will require automation - a recommender system, which learns consumer's preferences from her actions. A consumer chooses a scenario of home appliance use to balance her comfor…
Understanding consumption dynamics and its impact on the whole economy and welfare within the present economic crisis is not an easy task. Indeed the level of consumer demand for different goods varies with the prices, consumer incomes and demographic factors. Furthermore crisis may trigger different behaviors which re…
Consumer Demand Response (DR) is an important research and industry problem, which seeks to categorize, predict and modify consumer's energy consumption. Unfortunately, traditional clustering methods have resulted in many hundreds of clusters, with a given consumer often associated with several clusters, making it diff…
We study equilibrium in hedonic markets, when consumers and suppliers have reservation utilities, and the utility functions are separable with respect to price. There is one indivisible good, which comes in different qualities; each consumer buys 0 or 1 unit, and each supplier sells 0 or 1 unit. Consumer types, supplie…
The paper proposes a framework for modeling and analysis of the dynamics of supply, demand, and clearing prices in power system with real-time retail pricing and information asymmetry. Real-time retail pricing is characterized by passing on the real-time wholesale electricity prices to the end consumers, and is shown t…
We consider the problem of a firm seeking to use personalized pricing to sell an exogenously given stock of a product over a finite selling horizon to different consumer types. We assume that the type of an arriving consumer can be observed but the demand function associated with each type is initially unknown. The fir…
Paper uses GANs to simulate consumer transactions with SKU constraints.
LSTMs improve demand forecasting for e-grocery products.
CityTFT models urban building energy using a data-driven approach.
Paper optimizes demand aggregation for low-level electricity markets.
Study copyright's impact on creative industries using AI-generated fonts.
There are few papers about the consumption pattern of the Portuguese wine, using econometrics techniques. This work, pretend to analyze the consumers behavior of the wine produced in Portugal, determining the demand equation with panel data methods. There were used statistical data available in the Alentejo Regional Wi…
Consumers with low demand, like households, are generally supplied single-phase power by connecting their service mains to one of the phases of a distribution transformer. The distribution companies face the problem of keeping a record of consumer connectivity to a phase due to uninformed changes that happen. The exact…
This paper proposes an agent-based model that combines both spot and balancing electricity markets. From this model, we develop a multi-agent simulation to study the integration of the consumers' flexibility into the system. Our study identifies the conditions that real-time prices may lead to higher electricity costs,…
Paper uses CVAE to simulate tariff impacts on electricity consumption.
Proof-of-Stake networks with EIP-1559 exhibit stable token prices and secure network security.
Motivated by the ever-increasing demands for limited communication bandwidth and low-power consumption, we propose a new methodology, named joint Variational Autoencoders with Bernoulli mixture models (VAB), for performing clustering in the compressed data domain. The idea is to reduce the data dimension by Variational…
Optimal online learning for joint pricing and resource allocation.
Enhances demand models with deep learning for personalized pricing.
We study continuous time Bertrand oligopolies in which a small number of firms producing similar goods compete with one another by setting prices. We first analyze a static version of this game in order to better understand the strategies played in the dynamic setting. Within the static game, we characterize the Nash e…
The purpose of this paper is to identify the immediate and future retailer response to wholesale stockouts. We perform a statistical analysis of historical customer order and delivery data of a local tool wholesaler and distributor, whose customers are retailers, over a period of four years. We investigate the effect o…
One key requirement for effective supply chain management is the quality of its inventory management. Various inventory management methods are typically employed for different types of products based on their demand patterns, product attributes, and supply network. In this paper, our goal is to develop robust demand pr…
This paper analyzes consumer choices over lunchtime restaurants using data from a sample of several thousand anonymous mobile phone users in the San Francisco Bay Area. The data is used to identify users' approximate typical morning location, as well as their choices of lunchtime restaurants. We build a model where res…
Regulating crypto and DeFi for inclusive economic advancement.
This paper proposes a percolation-based model of new-product diffusion in the spirit of Solomon et al. (2000) and Goldenberg et al. (2000). A consumer buys the new product if she has formed her individual valuation of the product (reservation price) and if this valuation is greater or equal than the price of the produc…
Energy policy in Europe has been driven by the three goals of security of supply, economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability, referred to as the energy trilemma. Although there are clear conflicts within the trilemma, member countries have acted to facilitate a fully integrated European electricity marke…
New method identifies algo trading strategies as liquidity consumers or providers.
Smart grid uses deep learning to optimize household energy use.
Enhances U-statistics for semi-supervised datasets using unlabeled data.
Financial institutions have massive computations to carry out overnight which are very demanding in terms of the consumed CPU. The challenge is to price many different products on a cluster-like architecture. We have used the Premia software to valuate the financial derivatives. In this work, we explain how Premia can …
New method improves sales forecasting accuracy using tensor factorization.
In this paper, a Wide Learning architecture is proposed that attempts to automate the feature engineering portion of the machine learning (ML) pipeline. Feature engineering is widely considered as the most time consuming and expert knowledge demanding portion of any ML task. The proposed feature recommendation approach…
A text mining approach is proposed based on latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) to analyze the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) consumer complaints. The proposed approach aims to extract latent topics in the CFPB complaint narratives, and explores their associated trends over time. The time trends will then be…
The splendid success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in computer vision is largely attributable to the availability of massive annotated datasets, such as ImageNet and Places. However, in medical imaging, it is challenging to create such large annotated datasets, as annotating medical images is not only tedious…

Method detects multi-timescale consumer spending patterns from receipts.
Due to expensive infrastructure and the difficulties in storage, supply conditions of natural gas are different from those of other traditional energy sources like petroleum or coal. To overcome these challenges, supplier countries require take-or-pay agreements for requested natural gas quantities. These contracts hav…
