Abstract

We analyze a supply chain with two retailers facing independent demands who share an upstream supply market. Retailers can choose the extent to share signals on demand. We show that (a) there are conditions under which a retailer who unilaterally shares information, while receiving no information in return, may be better off while the recipient is worse off, (b) partial information sharing may be an equilibrium strategy.
