Résumé / Abstract Cette étude en économie expérimentale examine les contrats de prix en gros négociés entre un détaillant et un vendeur. Nous observons que les prix et les quantités négociés sont en dessous des prévisions tirées du modèle retenue en théorie des jeux. Les résultats expérimentaux indiquent que l'efficacité de la chaîne d'approvisionnement est inférieur à 100 % tel que prédit par le modèle. Par ailleurs, les profits sont alloués de façon plus équitable que l'allocation prédite par le modèle. Mots clés : coordination dans la chaîne d'approvisionnement, organisation industrielle, économie expérimentale We examine decision making in a simple supplier-retailer wholesale price contract in the experimental economics laboratory. We observe wholesale prices and order quantities below the game-theoretical predictions. The supply chain's efficiency is as predicted but profits are more equitably allocated.

Monotonicity properties of wholesale price contracts

This paper contributes to the supply chain contracts literature in economics and operations by performing qualitative sensitivity analysis of a wholesale price contract in a two-echelon supply chain setting. Ordertheory tools are used to derive sufficient conditions for monotonicity of contract parameters. The upstream supplier is modeled as a Stackelberg leader. The supplier is assumed to have...

The Allocation of Inventory Risk in a Supply Chain: Push, Pull, and Advance - Purchase Discount Contracts

W every firm in a supply chain bears supply risk (the cost of insufficient supply), some firms may, even with wholesale price contracts, completely avoid inventory risk (the cost of unsold inventory). With a push contract there is a single wholesale price and the retailer, by ordering his entire supply before the selling season, bears all of the supply chain’s inventory risk. A pull contract al...

Contracting in Supply Chains: A Laboratory Investigation

T coordination of supply chains by means of contracting mechanisms has been extensively explored theoretically but not tested empirically. We investigate the performance of three commonly studied supply chain contracting mechanisms: the wholesale price contract, the buyback contract, and the revenue-sharing contract. The simplified setting we consider utilizes a two-echelon supply chain in whic...

An Option-Revenue Sharing Coordination Contract with Price and Sales Effort Dependent Demand

This study proposes a novel option-revenue sharing coordination contract framework. In the proposed model, the retailer determines the number of order sales effort. The manufacturer sets the price of products for the wholesale strategy. The investigated supply chain problem analyzes the results of different strategies. In the proposed coordination contract problem, two types of games including ...
