We study the pricing and product line strategy of a risk-averse manufacturer who sells her products through a risk-averse retailer. We identify the conditions under which the manufacturer extends her product line or replaces the old product with a new product, and find that (i) a higher...

Interest has been raised by the recent identification of potential savings through collaborative planning in logistics operations. Even though substantial savings can be realized, two key questions exist: (i) how should potential savings be divided among a group of collaborating companies and...

Pricing decisions for two substitutable products in a supply chain with one common retailer and two competitive manufacturers are considered in this paper. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of the two manufacturers׳ different competitive strategies and the channel members׳...

Motivated by a recent legislative discussion in the European Union about providing European patients with the freedom to choose the country they receive treatment, we use a queueing framework to analyze a game-theoretic model that captures the interactions among the patients, the providers, and...

In this paper, we consider multiple manufacturers and a common retailer in a supply chain facing uncertain demand. Each manufacturer produces a different yet substitutable product sold through the common retailer, and a portion of the manufacturers sell their products through the direct channels...

Spatially heterogeneous costs of securing conservation agreements should be accounted for when prioritizing properties for conservation investment. Most researchers incorporating conservation costs into analyses have relied on estimates of landowners' opportunity costs of accepting a...

Starting with the “New Periodic Table” (NPT) of 2×2 order games introduced by Robinson and Goforth (2005), we provide an exhaustive treatment of the possible game-theoretic characterizations of climate negotiations between two players (e.g., Great Powers or coalitions of states). Of the 144...

In the absence of an international environmental agreement (IEA) on climate change, a country may be reluctant to unilaterally implement environmental actions, as this may lead to the relocation of firms to other, lax-on-pollution countries. To avoid this problem, while still taking care of the...
