Abstract: Revenue Managers usually nest the booking limits to avoid the situation in which high-fare bookings are rejected in favour of low-fare class. To date, there are both net nesting and threshold nesting methods. However, the consequence on revenues of each one is not clearly understood. This research investigates their underlying assumptions and supports that the stationarity of the demand process is the key point. This paper also suggests a co-integration test and an event study methodology to know what is appropriate in practice.
