A stochastic newsvendor game with dynamic retail prices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend stochastic newsvendor games with information lag by including dynamic retail prices, and we characterize their equilibria. We show that the equilibrium wholesale price is a nonincreasing function of the demand, while the retailer’s output increases with demand until we recover the usual equilibrium. In particular, it is then optimal for retailer and wholesaler to have demand at least equal to some threshold level, beyond which the retailer’s output tends to an upper bound which is absent in fixed retail price models. When demand is given by a delayed Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and price is an affine function of output, we numerically compute the equilibrium output and we show that the lagged case can be seen as a smoothing of the no lag case.

Stochastic cooperative advertising in a manufacturer–retailer decentralized supply channel
This work considers cooperative advertising in a manufacturer–retailer supply chain. While the manufacturer is the Stackelberg leader, the retailer is the follower. Using Sethi model it models the dynamic effect of the manufacturer and retailer’s advertising efforts on sale. It uses optimal control technique and stochastic differential game theory to obtain the players’ advertising strategies a...
متن کاملProperties of Nash Equilibrium Retail Prices in Contract Model with a Supplier, Multiple Retailers and Price-Dependent Demand
Recently, price contract models between suppliers and retailers, with stochastic demand have been analyzed based on well-known newsvendor problems. In Bernstein and Federgruen [6], they have analyzed a contract model with single supplier and multiples retailers and price dependent demand, where retailers compete on retail prices. Each retailer decides a number of products he procures from the s...
متن کاملNewsvendors Under Simultaneous Price and Inventory Competition
This paper extends the theory of competitive newsvendors to the case where competition occurs simultaneously in both price and inventory. The basic research questions are whether the Nash equilibrium exists in this game, whether it is unique, and how the resulting inventories and prices are a ected by competition. Using a novel method, we show the quasiconcavity of the competitive newsvendor’s ...
متن کاملCompetitive Pricing in a Supply Chain Using a Game Theoretic Approach
We develop a price competition model for a new supply chain that competes in a market comprised of some rival supply chains. The new supply chain has one risk-neutral manufacturer and one risk-averse retailer in which the manufacturer is a leader and retailer is a follower. The manufacturer pays a fraction of the risk cost (caused by demand uncertainty) to the retailer. We apply this competitiv...
متن کاملA Note on Newsvendor Problem with Pricing
The main purpose of the paper is to present a specific case of dynamic pricing for the newsvendor problem. Firstly, the short overview of a newsvendor problem is given together with references to the selected literature and remarks to its applicability. Then, the dynamic pricing principles are discussed together with references to decision dependent randomness case in stochastic programming. Th...
