This paper surveys some applications of cooperative game theory to supply chain
management. Special emphasis is placed on two important aspects of cooperative games …

Recent emphasis on competition and cooperation in supply chains has resulted in the
resurgence of game theory as a relevant tool for analyzing such interactions in a supply …

We develop a general framework for the analysis of decentralized distribution systems. We
carry the analysis in terms of a simplified model which entails N retailers who face stochastic …

Consider a supplier selling to multiple retailers. Demand varies across periods, but the
supplier's capacity and wholesale price are fixed. If demand is high, the retailers' needs …

Consider a set of n stores with single-item and single-period demands. Assume an option of
centralized ordering and inventory with holding and penalty costs only. In this case, a …

We study profit allocation rules for joint replenishment among retailers under a carbon cap-
and-trade policy. In particular, we consider retailers' altruistic behavior when designing the …

We study a situation with n retailers, each of them facing a news-vendor problem, ie, selling
to customers over a finite period of time (product with a short life cycle, such as fashion) …

We settle an open conjecture regarding the newsvendor game. We prove that its core is
always nonempty for all possible joint distributions of the random demands. We give …

In this paper we present the use of game theoretic models to analyse the cost allocation
problem in the context of repairable spare parts pooling. Two situations are studied. In the …

How should the excess profit because of inventory pooling be shared amongst firms at
different levels along the supply chain? Suppose each of several retailers observes local …
