    The Existence Phenomenon of Price Discrimination and Suggestions

    This paper analyzes the emergence, phenomenon and solution of price discrimination driven by The Times. This paper will analyze the two main categories of price discrimination: gender discrimination and big data killing. Among them, gender discrimination covers the discrimination suffered by women in the labor market and the pink tax, and big data killing includes price discrimination against consumers by taxi apps and housing apps. The purpose of this study is to draw out the problems of price discrimination, let the market pay attention to the problem and protect the rights and interests of consumers. The analysis found that women are often discriminated against based on gender in the workplace, and women pay a much higher price than men in the "pink tax" over their lifetime. At the same time, taxi-hailing software and housing software will take advantage of consumers' ignorance to discriminate in price according to their own conditions. It is hoped that the analysis of this paper can warn consumers of price discrimination, and attract the attention of authorities to protect the interests of the public. The article not only combines the survey of different audience groups, but also covers the results of experiments on the same subject and the experiences of people. According to the analysis, this paper suggests that consumers pay more attention to the market of goods before consumption and compare the prices of different platforms. The regulatory authorities can collect more public suggestions and check the price discrepancy, and target the crackdown.

    Micro-Mechanism Analysis of Computer Industry Division of Labor Modularization Based on Supramarginal Models

    After the modularization of computer production technology in the last century, market value gradually dispersed from the integrated enterprise IBM, leading to a gradual transformation in the organizational structure of the industry. However, the implementation of technological modularization does not necessarily result in the modularization of industrial division of labor. This paper addresses the evolutionary problem of organizational modularization by constructing a supramarginal model and transforming it into a choice problem for division of labor structures. The modularization of product production technology provides a uniform standard for interfaces between various components of complex products, leading to positive transaction efficiency between module manufacturers and module integrators. As transaction efficiency improves, the production organizational structure shifts from integration to modularized division of labor. Based on this foundation, the paper analyzes the impact of industry modularized division of labor on individual welfare and market expansion.

    Cooperation Strategy Between Large Agricultural Households and Farmers' Market Based on Evolutionary Game

    With the continuous development of China's agriculture, individual farmers are increasingly integrating into the supply chain of agricultural products, leading to the emergence of "large agricultural households" in the agricultural market. These large households monopolize the local market by purchasing agricultural products from individual farmers, thereby greatly influencing the diversity of product types and brand image in the agricultural market. In this study, we utilize evolutionary game theory to construct a model that explores the cooperative evolution between large agricultural households and agricultural markets under limited rationality. We analyze the evolutionary process of the cooperative strategies between the two parties and validate the game results through Matlab simulation. The findings reveal that the decision of whether or not large agricultural households cooperate with agricultural markets is affected by various factors, such as the benefits and costs associated with cooperation, as well as the potential losses resulting from non-cooperation. As a result, agricultural markets can implement measures, such as establishing effective information sharing and communication coordination mechanisms, and reducing cooperation costs with large agricultural households, to attract and retain them.

    The Difficulties and Optimization of Marriage Matching: An Analysis in the Context of China’s Modern Economy

    This study delves into the use of matching theory in addressing the stable marriage problem, examining ways to optimize overall utility for both women and men across all stable matchings. The paper introduce the concept of energy, denoted by the ranking where a lower rank signifies higher priority, as a metric for individual satisfaction in a match. The primary objective is to identify a stable match that reduces the average energy expended by both genders. By emphasizing average energy, this study aims to pinpoint a stable match that optimally minimizes this metric. A variety of optimization algorithms and mathematical models are utilized to navigate the solution space and determine the best match. A comprehensive analysis of stable matchings, alongside their associated energies for men and women, unveils the inherent trade-offs and dilemmas stemming from individual preferences. The essence of stability is also explored, underscoring the imperative of balancing individual contentment with the durability of the match. The paper concludes by accentuating the necessity for continued research to bolster overall utility in stable matchings, encompassing the investigation of supplementary constraints and preferences.

    Mechanism and Hints Behind the Anchoring Effect in Sales, Auction, and Willingness to Pay

    The anchoring effect, a cognitive bias, has substantial implications in various fields, including behavioural economics. It influences individuals' assessments and choices by anchoring them to specific initial values and causing insufficient adjustments. This article explores the anchoring effect's mechanisms and its impact on B2B sales, auctions, and willingness to pay. It also offers guidance for business owners, price-setters, and auctioneers to leverage the anchoring effect to their advantage. In B2B sales, results indicate that when salespeople are informed of higher reference discounts, they tend to offer significantly higher discounts to new customers, which leads to conservatism and cause a systematic distortion in various economic contexts. This demonstrates the positive impact of reference discounts on pricing decisions, driven by a tendency to avoid risk. Auction item sequences influencing bidding outcomes. Auctions featuring more valuable items first yield higher revenues, as buyers anchor their expectations to the initial prices. Sellers can strategically position items to maximize profits, particularly when the initial auction prices are set lower than market expectations. Studies also reveal that Lower anchoring prices may decrease willingness to pay (WTP) while higher initial reference points can lead to higher WTP. Additionally, the use of "up to" in advertising discounts can positively affect WTP due to an asymmetry effect.
