Individual differences in decision making may account for much order variation in the supply chain settings and bear significant responsibility for supply chain inefficiencies. In a supply chain, sharing information among decision makers is required to justify the ordering inefficiencies. But...

Capacitated fixed-charge network design problems and generalizations, such as service network design problems, have a wide range of applications but are known to be very difficult to solve. Many exact and heuristic algorithms to solve these problems rely on column-and-row generation (CRG), which...

We model a single-supplier, 73-store supply chain as a dynamic discrete choice problem. We estimate the model with transaction-level data, spanning 3,251 products and 1,370 days. We find two interrelated phenomena: the bullwhip effect and ration gaming. To establish the bullwhip effect, we show...
