The profits of the ESCO (Energy Services Company) and EU (Energy Using Organization) in the EPCP (energy performance contracting project) rely on the signing of the shared savings contract and the successful operation of the project, and the probability of the project’s success is decided by the complementary efforts of the ESCO and EU. However, the effort selection of the two sides face the bi...

This paper starts with the observation that in most individualistic sports (e.g. golf, tennis, boxing) rewards are highly dependent on performance, while in most team sports direct rewards are almost independent of performance. This paper takes the perspective of Contest (Tournament) Theory and considers the incentive properties of revenue sharing agreements which are performance independent an...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The introduction of the benchmarking mechanism into electricity industry has influenced whether utility firms choose to invest in carbon abatement technology. This study presents an supply chain that includes a firm as leader and retailer follower decide on price technology investment. The discusses impact decision-making enterprises. main conclusions are foll...

In this paper, we develop a new model to describe a dynamic revenue-sharing problem between an online shopping mall and a store in an E-commerce market. We formulate the revenue-sharing problem as a dynamic principal-agent problem, which is then transformed to a risk-sensitive stochastic optimal control problem where the objective of the risk-averse shopping mall is to find a risk-sensitive rev...

In this paper we show that fixed-term contracts, which are commonly used to franchise highways, do not allocate demand risk optimally. We characterize the optimal risk-sharing contract and show that it can be implemented with a fairly straightforward mechanism—a least-present-value-of-revenue auction. Instead of bidding on tolls (or franchise lengths), as in the case of fixed-term franchises, i...

We study the problem of selling a resource through an auction mechanism. The winning buyer in turn develops this resource to generate profit. Two forms of payment are considered: charging the winning buyer a one-time payment, or an initial payment plus a profit sharing contract (PSC). We consider a symmetric interdependent values model with risk averse or risk neutral buyers and a risk neutral ...

Blockchain-driven supply chain finance (SCF) has become an emerging financing mode. Compared with the traditional SCF mode, blockchain-driven can shorten transaction process and provide real trade data that cannot be tampered with, thereby improving efficiency of capital operation. This article explores coordination problems a chain. Based on three most common contracts (revenue-sharing contrac...

Probabilistic selling (PS) is widely used in the travel industry and marketing practices; how to design a win-win contract using PS multiple participants’ supply chain achieve sustainable development has been worthy concerned issue green China. To end this, we consider three-players involving two firms common retailer which sell their transparent products via dual channel, while sells probabili...

In a three stage supply chain composed of one manufacturer, one distributor and one retailer, the supply chain coordination mechanism is studied under a fuzzy demand environment. The market demand is treated as a positive trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the models of centralized decision-making system and spanning revenue sharing (SRS) contract are proposed by the method of the fuzzy set theory. ...

The rapid change of the product life cycle is making the parameters of the supply chain models more and more uncertain. Therefore, we consider the coordination mechanisms between one manufacturer and one retailer in a fuzzy decision marking environment, where the parameters of the models can be forecasted and expressed as the triangular fuzzy variables. The centralized decision-making system, t...
