Contracting and Information Sharing Under Supply Chain Competition (2008, background): “Two examples of quantity-based contract menus studied in this literature are Ha (2001) and Corbett et al. (2004).”
Managing Risk of Supply Disruptions: Incentives for Capacity Restoration (2013, methodology): “In our study, we considered the linear wholesale price contract, which is widely used in practice (Corbett et al. 2004).”
Product Design and Supply Chain Coordination Under Extended Producer Responsibility (2009, result): “The above findings are consistent with those in the literature on supply chain contracting under asymmetric information (e.g., see Corbett et al. 2004, Özer & Wei 2006), although the impact of asymmetric information about customer attributes on product design decisions in the context of EPR has…”
Supply Disruptions, Asymmetric Information, and a Backup Production Option (2009, unknown): “This assumption is common in mechanism design problems, and has been used in both the economics literature (e.g., Myerson, 1981; Che, 1993) and the operations management literature (e.g. Lim, 1997; Corbett et al., 2004).”
Quality risk in outsourcing: Noncontractible product quality and private quality cost information (2009, unknown): “Examples include Ha [18] and Corbett et al. [10].”
A review of trade credit literature: Opportunities for research in operations (2013, background): “The contracting literature suggests that if information is held asymmetrically, joint profits may be either lower or higher depending on the contract type (Corbett and Tang, 1999; Corbett et al., 2004).”
An analysis of decentralized collection and processing of end-of-life products (2007, background): “Two-part tariff contracts, which consist of a wholesale price and a fixed payment, can coordinate supply chains with two firms with deterministic internal or purchasing costs with linear demand models under full information ( Corbett et al., 2004 ).”
Supply chain risk analysis with mean-variance models: a technical review (2016, background): “For instance, Corbett et al. (2004) investigate the value of getting better information about the buyer’s cost structure for designing supply contracts under asymmetric information.”
Supply contracts in manufacturer‐retailer interactions with manufacturer‐quality and retailer effort‐induced demand (2008, background): “[6] investigate various two-part tariff contracts under a one-supplier, one-buyer setting where the buyer’s cost is private information.”
The Impact of Information Sharing on Supply Chain Performance under Asymmetric Information (2013, background): “There is an extensive theoretical literature on screening contracts in supply chain management (see e.g., Corbett 2001, Corbett and de Groote 2000, Corbett et al. 2004, Ha 2000).”
Spectrum Trading in Cognitive Radio Networks: A Contract-Theoretic Modeling Approach (2011, background): “[26], Corbet et al. used the bilateral monopoly setting to analyze three contracts under full and incomplete information in the setting of deterministic demand.”
Flow Coordination and Information Sharing in Supply Chains: Review, Implications, and Directions for Future Research (2002, background): “(2001) provide a centralized planning model based on full information sharing, while Donohue (2000) proposes a two-price contract with a buyback clause that coordinates the system under decentralized decision making.”
Price, Rebate, and Returns Supply Contracts for Coordinating Supply Chains with Price‐Dependent Demands (2011, background): “Common contracts for coordinating a supply chain with uncertain demand include: (two-part tariff) wholesale price contracts (cf, Corbett et al. 2004); channel rebate policies (cf, Taylor 2002); and returns policies (cf, Pasternack 1985).”
