Vertical relationships within platform marketplaces
Tremblay, Mark J. - In: Games 7 (2016) 3, pp. 1-21
In two-sided markets a platform allows consumers and sellers to interact by creating sub-markets within the platform marketplace. For example, Amazon has sub-markets for all of the different product categories available on its site, and smartphones have sub-markets for different types of...

Sustainability of intertwined supply networks : a game-theoretic approach
Gorbaneva, Olga; Ougolnitsky, Guennady - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-21
A formal game-theoretic model of an intertwined supply network, in full and simplified versions, is proposed. Conditions for the sustainable development of an active system are presented in general form and then specified to the class of intertwined supply networks. As an illustration, a concise...

Construction of equilibria in strategic Stackelberg games in multi-period supply chain contracts
Gholami, Reza Azad; Sandal, Leif K.; Ubøe, Jan - In: Games 13 (2022) 6, pp. 1-26
Almost every supplier faces uncertain and time-varying demand. E-commerce and online shopping have given suppliers unprecedented access to data on customers' behavior, which sheds light on demand uncertainty. The main purpose of this research project is to provide an analytic tool for...

Sharing loading costs for multi compartment vehicles
Hartman, Bruce C. - In: Games 9 (2018) 2/25, pp. 1-21
Supply chains for goods that must be kept cool-cold chains-are of increasing importance in world trade. The goods must be kept within well-defined temperature limits to preserve their quality. One technique for reducing logistics costs is to load cold items into multiple compartment vehicles...

Random informative advertising with vertically differentiated products
Lahmandi-Ayed, Rim; Laussel, Didier - In: Games 15 (2024) 2, pp. 1-29
We study a simple model in which two vertically differentiated firms compete in prices and mass advertising on an … advertising cost and quality differential (relative advertising cost), either there is no equilibrium in pure strategies or there … advertising cost goes to infinity, prices become equal and the advertising intensities converge to zero as well as the profits …

Backup agreement as a coordination mechanism in a decentralized fruit chain in a developing country
Rojas Palacios, Margy Nathalia; Peña Orozco, Diego León; … - In: Games 13 (2022) 3, pp. 1-18
This paper aims to analyze the impacts of a backup agreement contract on the performance of a small agricultural producers' citrus supply chain. A backup agreement contract, which ensures for each echelon that a quantity of products will be bought independently of real demand, is proposed to...

(Un)bounded rationality in decision making and game theory : back to square one?
Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - In: Games 1 (2010) 1, pp. 53-65
Game and decision theory start from rather strong premises. Preferences, represented by utilities, beliefs represented by probabilities, common knowledge and symmetric rationality as background assumptions are treated as “given.” A richer language enabling us to capture the process leading...

A modal logic of epistemic games
Lorini, Emiliano; Schwarzentruber, François - In: Games 1 (2010) 4, pp. 478-526
We propose some variants of a multi-modal of joint action, preference and knowledge that support reasoning about epistemic games in strategic form. The first part of the paper deals with games with complete information. We first provide syntactic proofs of some well-known theorems in the area of...
