Economists that examines about the pricing strategies acquised to the idea that
selling price is the solitary relevant variable that is related ti price. The
article concentrated for the consumer behavior by integrating reference prices,
this also synthesizes the dynamis pricing policy. The author studied and focuses
only on the dynamic pricing of a monopolistic firm, where in the descriptive
aspects of its consukers are taken into account. The analysis of the ideas
amalgamated the main behavioral element of decision making, the referwnce peice
dependence. This comes up to the idea that demant depends upon the selling price
and reference price of a specific product. The author defined reference price as "
a psychological variable inteenal to the consumer, is formally operationalized by
the past obsevered lrices". In this case, this research informs the litereture
studyung the behavioral element as a drivee of dynamic pricing. The author uses the
general demant punction to establish resultes and linked to the sole propeeties of
the demand funCtion

The author uses monopolistic firm as a situation, he uses the equation [0;T] where
in the horizon of the firm (T) is infinite and the time is 2. The author
illustrates how the consumer decide to purchase a product on the basis of selling
price and reference price. The results are interpreted as follows: First result, "
if consumer respond to a reference price then the demand is more elastic". In
generalized manner, the monopolistic firm loses market power where in it can get
less rent from the demand and it will cause less charge to maximize profit. Second
result the author formulates is that " a higher reference price for the consumer
does not always imply a higher selling price". To make it simple, reference price
dynamics does not emulates selling price dynamics but, the impact of an increase
reference price on the selling price is the sum of three competeing effects: No
adjustment baseline case, No reference baseline case and Adjustment and reference
case.Horizon of the firm ( T)
