More specifically, his research focuses on understanding firms’ marketing strategy using quantitative models under two broad contexts: (1) influence of consumer behavior characteristics (e.g., variety seeking, reference dependence, consumption externality) on optimal firm strategies (positioning and pricing strategies), and (2) influence of market and firm characteristics on firms’ marketing strategies (e.g. entry strategies) as well as implications for social welfare and public policy. His research has appeared in some of the premier journals in marketing and management such as Marketing Science, Management Science, Production and Operations Management, International Journal of Research in Marketing, and Decision Sciences.
