Optimal Long-Term Supply Contracts with Asymmetric Demand Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a manufacturer selling to a retailer with private demand forecast information arising dynamically over an infinite time horizon. We show that the manufacturer’s optimal dynamic long-term contract takes a simple form: in the first period, based on her private demand forecast, the retailer selects a wholesale price and pays an associated upfront fee, and, from then on, the two parties stick to a simple wholesale price contract with the retailer’s chosen price.

Technical Note - Optimal Long-Term Supply Contracts with Asymmetric Demand Information
We consider a manufacturer selling to a retailer with private demand information arising dynamically over an infinite time horizon. Under a backlogging model, we show that the manufacturer’s optimal dynamic long-term contract takes a simple form: in the first period, based on her private demand forecast, the retailer selects a wholesale price and pays an associated upfront fee, and, from then o...
متن کاملModelling and Experimental Testing of Asymmetric Information Problems in Lease and Hire Contracts (Based on Contract Theory)
This article aims to study lease and hiring contract in the Iranian-Islamic setting and analyze the asymmetric information problem in these contracts. For doing this, we study the characteristics of lease and hiring contracts in Iran (real world experimental characteristics that recognized in other studies), using library method, then we mathematically model different aspects of asymmetric info...
متن کاملCoordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...
متن کاملSharing Forecast Information in a Long-term Supply Chain Relationship
Forecast sharing in a supply chain using linear price contracts often leads to inefficiencies as the buyer has an incentive to inflate demand forecasts to ensure sufficient supply. Recent research in supply chain contracting has focused on one-shot relationships, and has identified various contracts that align incentives in the supply chain and induce the buyer to reveal forecast information tr...
متن کاملOptimising Procurement Portfolios to Mitigate Risk in Supply Chains
In recent years the management of risk in supply chains has become an important issue in the scientific literature. This aspect is of primary interest in market side decisions of a company such as in the procurement of materials. So far, traditional supply chain planning methods solely focus on improving cost efficiency and reducing inventory buffers in supply chains. These approaches are succe...
