Abstract

This paper considers the problem of determining the optimal intervals between consecutive purchases of perfect information. It is shown that these intervals, which determine the frequency of information purchases, can be obtained by solving a dynamic programming problem, and a method for solving the problem is suggested. An example is provided, showing a possible application of our model to the determination of the optimal intervals between two consecutive market researches.
