Abstract:

With behaviour-based pricing (BBP), enterprises can fully concern the various behavioral characteristics and the payment willingness of new and repeat customers. Prior studies have investigated BBP in the domestic market. Considering the case of BBP in cross-border sales of green products, this paper examined BBP in cross-border market between green and conventional products. The feasibility and applicability of using BBP are discussed, focusing on the impact of trade costs on BBP, market share, profits and social welfare. It is shown that whether enterprises can fully or partially use BBP in cross-border market will be affected by the difference in trade costs between green and conventional products. With the increase in the enterprise's own trade costs, BBP will focus on protecting loyal customers, and with the increase in the competitor's trade costs, BBP will focus on attracting potential customers. The use of BBP helps to not only strengthen the market share advantages of green products in cross-border market but also improve the consumer surplus and total social welfare of domestic and overseas consumers who buy green products. When the trade cost difference between green and conventional manufacturers is small, the market equilibrium is that both types of enterprises adopt BBP.

Key words: behaviour-based pricing, green products, cross-border market, trade costs
