Dynamic Pricing and Market Forces
Dynamic pricing, often seen in industries like flights, concerts, and sporting events, is not a new concept. From the earliest form of bartering to the current digital era, businesses have utilized dynamic pricing to match price with demand. While dynamic pricing can provide opportunities for consumers to get better deals, concerns arise in monopolized markets where firms exploit information asymmetry to maximize profits. The potential for monopolistic firms to implement dynamic pricing systems poses challenges, prompting the need for regulatory scrutiny to prevent market exploitation.
