For example, within a product category, Eaton and Dell both offer remanufactured/refurbished products and new products to consumers. Second, to better manage expenses for e-waste, social planners levy fees on producers or consumers of electronic products. Integrating these two aspects, the key issu...

On the one hand, cost learning may enable encroach...

摘要：We examine the causal effects of nearby terrorist attacks on supplier-customer relationships. We find that for supplier firms located near terrorist attacks, the probability of relationship termination with their major customers increases by 2.9 percentage points within two years following the attacks. The major customers' intensified perceptions of supply chain risk largely drive the relationship termination. Further analyses show that major customers tend to switch to suppliers with lower te...
