in this article, we estimate the vertical price transmission through the iranian rice marketing chain by usingmonthly data from march 2000 to february, 2009 and error correction model (ecm).the causality testresults indicate that changes in the producer price clearly led changes in wholesale and retail prices. inproducer-retail and wholesale-retail models, price transmission is asymmetric but i...

O2O (Online to Offline) business model, a kind of new business model between online and offline channel, is put forward by some innovative enterprises. Supply chain decision under O2O business model completely changes price competition in traditional dualchannel supply chains.

In order to provide technology and commercial intelligence to understand industrial needs for potential research in this area, this project is aimed to conduct technology analysis and market research for a specific industry sector, local pharmaceutical supply chain, to understand their requiremen...

We model a two-level supply chain where Nash bargaining occurs upstream and firms compete in logit setting downstream, either via Bertrand price or an auction. The parameters can be calibrated with discrete set of data on prices, margins, market shares, facilitating use by antitrust practitioners. perform numerical simulations to identify cases modelling the full vertical structure is important...
