- A MM06-C2 Two variants, not one: "We consider two well-studied variants of this problem." Price-setting under market power and capacity control at fixed prices are distinct variantsmaglaras-meissner-2006-dynamic-pricing-revenue-management
- A MM06-C3 The reduction is the contribution: both problems reduce to a formulation "in which the firm controls the aggregate rate at which all products jointly consume resource capacity"maglaras-meissner-2006-dynamic-pricing-revenue-management
- A MM06-C4 The three policies are the paper's own, and so is the limit on the strongest one: it proposes "a static pricing heuristic, (ii) a static pricing heuris"tic applied with a capacity allocation policy, and a resolving heuristic that reevaluates the fluid policy, of which "we show that “resolving” the fluid heuristic achieves asymptotically optimal performance" under fluid scaling, which is an asymptotic result and not a claim about any single marketmaglaras-meissner-2006-dynamic-pricing-revenue-management
- A MM06-C5 The heuristics are fluid-scale asymptotically optimal only where potential demand and capacity grow proportionally largemaglaras-meissner-2006-dynamic-pricing-revenue-management

From the essay
Pricing & revenue architecture
Revenue management versus dynamic pricing
Revenue management allocates scarce capacity over time; dynamic pricing is one control alongside acceptance and allocation when demand competes.
