The noti...

摘要：Although vendor-managed inventory (VMI) programs have gained popularity in practice, some empirical studies report that their implementations have not been successful. We conduct experiments to investigate behaviors in a supply chain where a supplier replenishes inventories for a retailer according to a VMI program under a revenue-sharing contract. The results show that subjects' decisions deviate significantly from the standard theoretical predictions because the retailer presents equality pr...
