  text: This paper presents a classroom experiment on pricing strategies available
    to monopolists. Each student makes production decisions as a monopolist during
    the experiment, learning from his/her own experiences what it means to be a price
    searcher. Full information is provided on cost conditions, while the demand function
    remains unknown to the participants. Given a sufficient number of periods, students
    will in principle be able to maximise their profits by applying a simple trial
    and error strategy. However, one of the objectives of the experiment is to demonstrate
    to students that search strategies based on economic principles are more efficient.</jats:p>

  text: Groupage transports are frequently calculated based on freight rates assuming
    a declining rate with respect to volume and to transportation distance. This paper
    investigates the case of feeding many small shipments to customers via a freight
    forwarder network. It is argued that costs for post-carriage transport dominate
    other costs. Based on a theoretical estimate, simulation experiments for the case
    of a uniform distribution of customer locations around the subsidiary with a fixed
    shipment size per drop suggest that the aggregate costs grow progressively with
    increasing customer drop distances from the subsidiary. The resulting implications
    for transport modelling are discussed.
