Landscape Capacity for Supplying Ecosystem Services in Taiwan Alishan National Scenic Area
Fu-Chiang Yang and Yi-Tui Chen
Abstract—For some service facilities, the unused service
capacity cannot be stocked overnight and will become a burden
to the service provider. The main purpose of this article is to
analyze the effects of seasonality on capacity choice decisions
and examine the firm’s pricing strategies. We present a
mathematical model and find that higher operating costs lead to
lower service fees in booming seasons and higher service fee in
normal seasons, but the capacity should be decreased; the
higher proportion of booming seasons in a year results in higher
service fee in booming seasons and lower service fee in normal
seasons, and the capacity should be increased. The price
markup in booming seasons is higher if the proportion of
booming seasons increase, but lower if operating costs increase.
Index Terms—Expected costs, optimization, service capacity, seasonal demand.
