Pricing and collection effort decisions in supply chain with product remanufacturing

This paper investigates pricing and collection effort decisions under the different channel structure. In our model, we consider the collection effort impacts both remanufacturer's collection quantity and market demand. We build four game models and give the corresponding equilibrium decisions. Through comparing these equilibrium results, we find that the manufacturer (remanufacturer)'s profit is highest when the manufacturer (remanufacturer) is a Stackelberg leader, while that is smallest under Nash model and the total profit of supply chain under the centralized case is always highest.
