An Examination of Human Fast and Frugal Heuristic Decisions for Truckload Spot Pricing by Michael Haughton, Alireza Amini

“…<i>Background</i>: One of several logistics contexts in which pricing decisions are made involves truckload carriers using reverse auctions to bid for prices they want for their transportation services while operating under uncertainty about factors such as their (i) operations costs and (ii) rivals’ bids. This study’s main purpose is to explore humans’ use of fast and frugal heuristics (FFHs) to navigate those uncertainties. …”
