In this paper, we establish a dynamic game to allocate CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) to the members of a supply chain. We propose a model of a three-tier supply chain in a decentralized state which includes a supplier, a manufacturer and a retailer. For analyzing supply chain performance in decentralized state and the relationships between the members of the supply chain, we use a Stack...

We carry out experiments on the Stackelberg game and the second-play Stackelberg game where the leader can revise his decision after the follower has decided. In the second-play Stackelberg game, the leader’s first announcement is cheap talk. The game settings studied include fixed pairs and random matching, and settings where the follower’s information about the leader’s payoffs is complete or...

This paper is considering the competition between two multi-echelon supply-chains on price and service under balance and imbalance of market power between the chains which are analyzing through Nash and Stackelberg game approach. The problem is categorized as the centralized or decentralized structure of each chain, which means a few different possible scenarios are developing based on the Nash...

W e analyze contracting behaviors in a two-tier supply chain system consisting of competing manufacturers and competing retailers. We contrast the contracting outcome of a Stackelberg game, in which the manufacturers offer take-itor-leave-it contracts to the retailers, with that of a bargaining game, in which the firms bilaterally negotiate contract terms via a process of alternating offers. Th...

The continuous network design problem (CNDP) is known to be difficult to solve due to the property of non-convexity and nonlinearity. Such kind of CNDP can be formulated as a bi-level programme, which may be classified into Stackelberg approach and Nash one according to the relationship between the upper level and the lower level parts. This paper formulates the CNDP for road expansion based on...

In the last years, there has been a substantial effort in the application of Stackelberg game-theoretic approaches in the security arena, in which security agencies implement patrols and checkpoints to protect targets from criminal attacks. The classical game-theoretic approach employed successful to solve security games is that of a Stackelberg game between a defender (leader) and an attacker ...

This paper investigates three models to implement Tradable Green Certificates (TGC) system with aid of game theory approach. In particular, the competition between thermal and renewable power plants is formulated in three models: namely cooperative, Nash and Stackelberg game models. The price of TGC is assumed to be determined by the legislative body (government) which is fixed. Numerical examp...

in today's competitive world, maintaining competitive power of industries is the requirement of remaining in the competition. in the case of small industries, it also needs to think about strategies of making the industries more competitive in order to survive and have successful activity in competition. in many countries, one of the methods that have gained successful experience in increa...

we model a real-world case problem as a price competition model between two leader-follower supply chains that each of them consists of one manufacturer and one retailer. t he manufacturer produces partially differentiated products and sells to market through his retailer. the retailer sells the products of manufacturer to market by adding some values to the product and gains margin as a fracti...

This paper proposes a bi-level stochastic optimization problem (a Stackelberg game) to generate optimal bids for a profit maximizing hydropower producer and presents a mathematical approach to solve it. The first level represents the strategically acting hydropower producer also called a Stackelberg leader, while the second level represents the transmission system operator (TSO) also called a S...
