Optimal trade-in strategy for advance selling with strategic consumers proportion.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to optimize the trade-in pricing strategy. To leverage market share, many sellers adopt trade-in strategy for advance selling, Customers can return their old products at a discount price when they buy new products. This can help increase the market share and decrease natural resource consumption. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: We consider a seller who sells new-generation products over two periods: advance selling and regular selling. Based on the rational expectation equilibrium, we adopt dynamic programming to construct a two-period pricing model with three different trade-in strategies-only in period 2, in both periods, and not at all-explaining the trade-in strategy as a promotion tool used by a monopolist to discriminate for advance selling between new and old customers.
findingsThe results suggest that the optimal price is determined by the proportion of old customers, discount factor and product innovation level. Whether and when to give a trade-in rebate to old customers depends on these parameters. The seller's choice of optimal trade-in strategy depends on the threshold value of the new customer demand and trade-in demand. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Most existing literature focuses on advance selling strategies and trade-in strategies. To the best of our knowledge, this is a pioneering study that adopts trade-in as part of the advance selling strategy.
