A case study: the benefits of dynamic pricing

35

The end of the concert of a pop superstar at Madison Square Garden on March 21, 2015 caused a large spike in demand for Uber: the number of riders that opened the app after the concert spiked up to 4 times the normal number of app openings. Because of this increase of demand relative to the number of available Uber cars in the area, surge kicked in, fluctuating between 1 and 1.8 for over an hour after the concert ended (surge period shown in the figure). WHY WAS DYNAMIC PRICING BENEFICIAL TO BOTH DRIVERS AND CONSUMERS? • It increased the number of drivers in the area: surge signaled that this was a valuable time

to be on the road and driver supply increased over pre-surge baseline. • It allocated rides to those that value them most.

Conclusions

36

Internet is revolutioning the relationship between businesses and consumers allowing tailor made commercial offers and more efficiency for enterprises. The most important mission for EU institutions and national governments is ensuring that no country or group is left behind by the digitalization process

Institutions should encourage adequate investments in connectivity but also in

digital services (with a direct role to play in e-government) reducing barriers to the digital transformation

The presence of competing providers and/or services maximizes efficiency so public institutions should refrain from interfering in market mechanisms

Privacy and security as well as unfair business practices are areas which deserve a tight oversight and, in case of breaches, severe sanctions
