Download or read book Internet Resource Pricing Models written by Ke Xu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief guides the reader through three basic Internet resource pricing models using an Internet cost analysis. Addressing the evolution of service types, it presents several corresponding mechanisms which can ensure pricing implementation and resource allocation. The authors discuss utility optimization of network pricing methods in economics and underline two classes of pricing methods including system optimization and entities' strategic optimization. The brief closes with two examples of the newly proposed pricing strategy helping to solve the profit distribution problem brought by P2P free-riding and improve the pricing efficiency with the introduction of the price discrimination. The Internet resource pricing strategy is not only the key factor of Internet resource allocation efficiency, but also the determinant of the profit. The methods and models discussed in Internet Resource Pricing Models increase the efficiency of existing pricing strategies to ensure a sound and sustainable development of the Internet. The brief will help researchers and professionals working with this key factor of Internet resource allocation.

Download or read book Trade In Or Sell in My P2P Marketplace written by Aditya Vedantam and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more customers purchasing pre-owned or used products in the apparel industry, firms are increasingly adopting resale based business models generally through either a:(i) trade-in with a resale program, where a firm offers a trade-in discount on a new product and resells the traded-in products, or a (ii) P2P resale marketplace, where the firm facilitates a resale marketplace in which customers can buy and sell used products to each other. Since both resale strategies are utilized by different apparel firms, it is not clear which strategy is more profitable in a given context. Further, firms that adopt each resale model also promote their environmental benefits and there are concerns that these firms are green-washing, i.e., misrepresenting the environmental benefits of their business models. Although it is an important issue for the apparel industry, to the best of our knowledge, the literature has not rigorously analyzed the profitability and environmental impacts of the trade-in and P2P models concurrently. We attempt to fill this gap in the literature and investigate the profitability and environmental impacts of the trade-in and P2P resale marketplace models. We find that the trade-in model may be more profitable despite the lower reverse logistics cost in the P2P model, and P2P resale marketplace may be more profitable despite the trade-in program having direct control over the supply and demand of used products. Furthermore, interestingly, both models can be better for the environment depending on the product's environmental characteristics. However, we also find that when customers are extremely forward-looking, interestingly, the trade-in model always has a lower environmental footprint than the P2P model. Based on our analysis, we further create a matrix of product attributes and identify when each resale business model is better for profitability and environment concurrently, and also when there is misalignment in the same regard. We also study the impact of product durability on pricing for both trade-in and P2P models. In addition, we present several other results and managerial insights that would provide useful guidelines not only for apparel firms, but also for non-governmental organizations and environmental advocacy groups.

Are Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) or banks ready to embrace fintech? Is fintech an enabler or barrier to achieve the intended purpose of Islamic finance?

These are existential questions for Islamic finance and the book endeavors to examine the impact of financial technology on the industry. The book assesses various fintech business models and how they could be a threat or an opportunity. It also examines whether fintech provides IFIs an edge to serve clients following the Shariah norms and how the adoption of fintech in the Islamic mode is required for meeting the maqasid Al Shariah.

This book will interest students, analysts, policymakers, and regulators who are working on Islamic finance, financial economics, Islamic economics, and development finance.
