Mean-VaR Model Based on the Asymmetric Laplace Distribution HUANG Jin-bo, WU Li-li, YOU Yi-ling 2022, 30 (5):  31-40.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1681 Abstract ( 336 )   PDF (2072KB) ( 433 )   Save As a popular risk measurement, the Value at Risk (VaR) has been widely concerned by the industry and academia since it was proposed by Morgan in 1994. While VaR is intuitive in risk management practice and simple in its definition, it has several notorious limitations and drawbacks such as its insensitivity to the magnitude of losses beyond VaR, non-qualification as a coherent risk measure and its non-convexity with respect to the portfolio weights which results in computational difficulties under the general distribution. At present, a good analytical solution of VaR-based model is mostly obtained under the normal distribution. However, the financial time series generally represent asymmetric leptokurtic features, so that the normal distribution hypothesis will increase the systematic biases of risk estimation. Among many probability distributions, the asymmetric Laplace distribution (ALD) allows the heavy tail and asymmetry, and has been widely used to fit the distribution of financial assets’ return and measure tail risk,but its application in the portfolio selection has not been mature. In view of this, supposing assets’ return follows ALD, the VaR’s analytical formula is obtained and a novel mean-VaR model is proposed. In theory, it is proved that the model is a convex optimization problem and can be transferred into a quadratic programming problem. Furthermore, the global optimal analytical solution of the model can be easily obtained and then the analytical formula of portfolio frontier can be derived with and without a risk-free asset respectively.Finally, 308 weekly yield data of SSE50 and its components from January 2012 to December 2017 are collected for empirical analysis, which shows that the mean-VaR model based on ALD performs better than indexation investment. In a word, there are two main conclusions in this paper. On the one hand, by comparing the VaR under two different distributions, it is found that with the increase of the mean value of portfolio return, the tail risk under ALD is smaller than that under normal distribution. On the other hand, because the analytical expression of the VaR under ALD is a convex function of portfolio position, the global optimal analytical solution of the mean-VaR model can also be easily obtained. Therefore, the research achievement of this paper can enrich and deepen the theories of asset allocation and risk management; in practice, our works can improve investors’ trade strategies and provide more accurate risk measure techniques to prevent financial market risks for enterprises and governments.

Dynamic Confidence Interval of the Critical Time of Chinese Stock Market Bubble Crash YU Xiao-jian, CHENG Yu, XIAO Wei-lin 2022, 30 (5):  41-53.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1705 Abstract ( 292 )   PDF (3477KB) ( 600 )   Save Bubble refers to the explosive growth of asset prices, and the crash is rapidly decline of stock or stock index after the bubble bursts. A series of asset prices plummet in a short period of time causing a sharp oscillation in the stock market, which in turn damage the asset interests of investorsand disrupt the orderly development of the capital market.In this paper, a new method is developed through the Log-Periodic Power Law Model (LPPL) to help investors identify bubbles and track the risks of bubbles in financial activities effectively. The LPPL model is ln［p(t)］=A+(tc－t)α{B+Ccos［ωln(tc－t)+φ］}, where ln［p(t)］ is the logarithm of assets price, α is the exponent of the power law growth and tc is the critical point of bubble burst.The two big bull market crashes of the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index (CSI 300) in 2007 and 2015 are studied. Based on the LPPL model, two methods including “rolling window” and “fixing the initial point and moving the end point” are introduced for resampling, then out-of-sample prediction daily is made to calculate the critical point of the bubble bursts and construct the dynamic confidence intervals for the bubble critical times respectively. Theempirical results show that the confidence interval of the critical times can basically cover the time when the bubbles crash actually occurs as time goes by. Compared with the simple method that use the LPPL model to predict the single critical time, the confidence interval method overcomes the randomness of the critical time prediction well, and also well display the change trajectory of the stock market bubble critical interval. The innovative method of this paper provides an effective tool for the risk management, which is a beneficial expansion for the researches of the crash early warning.

Research on the Risk Dependence and Dynamic Evolution among A Share Financial Sectors in China WU Xian-bo, HUI Xiao-feng 2022, 30 (5):  54-64.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2020.2347 Abstract ( 321 )   PDF (1537KB) ( 366 )   Save In recent years, with the deepening of China's financial reform, the financial liberalization and mixed operation of financial institutions have greatly improved the business and capital flow between different financial sectors and financial institutions. The risk dependence between different financial markets and different financial institutions, and the change of the dependence relationship in different periods are concerned by the academia, especially the financial regulatory authorities. In the process of financial reform, it is particularly important to prevent and resolve financial risks and maintain financial stability. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to effectively measure the risk linkage between financial institutions and find the dynamic evolution law of risk dependence. In this paper, the China’s financial sector is divided into 6 major financial sub sectors, namely, state-owned banks, national shareholding banks, city commercial banks, securities, insurance and trust. Taking China's stock market turbulence in 2015 and the COVID-19 as the research background, the risk dependence and dynamic evolution of 6 financial sub sectors in the two different backgrounds are analyzed. In this paper, the risk dependence network of the financial sector is constructed by calculating the mutual information of the volatility indexes among the sub sectors, the maximum spanning tree is used to describe the core structure of the dependence, and the sliding window is used to examine the dynamic evolution of the dependence relationship. The results show that, firstly, when the market is in a relatively calm period, the risk dependence between banking sector and non banking sector is weak and relatively fragmented, which is more obvious during the background of COVID-19; Secondly, when the state of market trend fluctuates greatly, which is in the bull period and turbulence period of China’s stock market turbulence in 2015, as well as the epidemic period in the COVID-19 background, the risk dependence between the banking sector and the non banking sector is enhanced, and in this process, the insurance sector becomes an important intermediate node; Finally, in 2015, the state-owned banks and city commercial banks become the largest risk nodes respectively in China’s stock market turbulence in 2015 and in the COVID-19 background. Therefore, in order to better maintain the stability of China’s financial system, it should be paid more attention to the banking institutions, when the fluctuation of economic and social status is violent, the important role of insurance sector in risk transmission should be noticed.

Credit Risk Evaluation Model and Empirical Research Based on Focal Loss Modified Cross-Entropy Loss Function YANG Lian, SHI Bao-feng 2022, 30 (5):  65-75.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2020.2188 Abstract ( 405 )   PDF (2014KB) ( 810 )   Save Credit evaluation model plays an important role in helping financial institutions to identify default risk. However, due to the imbalance of the proportion of default and non-default samples, there are the phenomena of over-recognition for non-default samples and under-recognition for default samples. Some of default samples, named hard samples, are difficult to be identified. Therefore, the key to improve the prediction performance of the model is to improve its ability to recognize the hard samples. In practice, the existing deep learning credit evaluation model, which takes the Cross Entropy as the loss function, considers that there is no difference between the contribution of the hard samples and the simple samples to the target loss. It affects the effective identification of hard samples by the model. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Effectiveness of Momentum Factor Tracking Strategy: Evidence from China Stock Market JIANG Chong-hui, LIU Lin 2022, 30 (5):  86-97.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1569 Abstract ( 243 )   PDF (1738KB) ( 329 )   Save It is documented in the literature that the momentum and reversal effects are very prevalent in both oversea and China stock market. However, Chinese investors cannot implement the well-known momentum/reversal strategy directly to make profit due to various trading restrictions. A momentum factor tracking strategy is proposed that minimizes the variance of the difference in returns between a target portfolio and momentum factor. The momentum factor tracking model is established and solved, and the properties of the optimal portfolio are analyzed. It is found that the optimal momentum factor tracking portfolio satisfies two-fund-separation theorem, in which the two funds are momentum factor mimicking portfolio and minimum-variance portfolio determined in the traditional mean-variance model. Using ten industry indices of HS300 as risky assets in the investment universe, the performance for various momentum factor tracking portfolios is investigated and is compared with that of equally weighted portfolio (EWP) and minimum-variance portfolio (MVP). The results show that, momentum factor tracking portfolios outperform EWP and MVP, measured by expected excess return, Sharpe ratio and net Sharpe ratio. The superior performance of the momentum factor tracking portfolios are attributed to these portfolios’ ability to capture the momentum or reversal effect in stock market. To a large extent, the effectiveness of momentum factor tracking strategy is justified so that the strategy can act as a reference for asset allocation in China stock market.

Model Research on Competition Strategy Choice of Enterprises under Equity Financing WANG Yu, ZHAI Jia, DENG Jie 2022, 30 (5):  98-108.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1211 Abstract ( 288 )   PDF (2978KB) ( 413 )   Save The formulation of market competition strategy of enterprise should not only focus on the operational factors of both competitors, but also consider the influence of its capital operation. However, the literature has focused on the interaction between market competition and debt financing, but been silent on the effect of equity financing on market competition. Present study considers two Bertrand retailers, in which one retailer faces good market opportunity and employs equity financing to exploit the market. Its demand function becomes D1=a1－b1p1+γ1p2+β1e, where β1and e represent its growth and effort, respectively. The market development will directly influence the demand of its competitor and change it to D2=a2－b2p2+γ2p1+β2e, where β2 is called as externality of market development. The valuation of financing retailer is set as V, so the equity of its shareholders changes to V/(V+B). Based on these, a Bertrand competition model is constructed under equity financing, and the competition strategy choice and its influencing factors are investigated, such as the principal-agent behavior of shareholders. Additionally, a numerical simulation whose parameters are partly based on the data of Chinese stock market is also present to clearly reveal the competition strategy choice. Core research indicates that retailer’s competition strategy depends on its growth as well as externality of market development. Increasing the growth or enhancing the externality are both able to promote the equity financing of the retailer, while the principal-agent behavior of shareholders could impede it. Additionally,this behavior has effect on the market development decision, though the price competition strategy would not be qualitatively changed. Moreover, the competitor must take actions to avoid falling into the “growth trap of financing enterprise” under negative externality. The results not only contribute to the competition strategy choice of growth enterprise and the exploration of the interaction between market competition and equity financing, but also provide insight into the model research of equity financing from the perspective of enterprise operation.

Pricing Mechanism of Sequential Auction for the Construction Land and Its Quota LIU Jing-yu, MENG Wei-dong, HUANG Bo, LI Yu-yu 2022, 30 (5):  109-117.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.2095 Abstract ( 193 )   PDF (1501KB) ( 291 )   Save With the accelerating urbanization in China, the paradox between the idle homesteads in rural area and the shortage of construction land in urban area due to the lack of quota became more and more intensified. Hence, local governments encourage farmers to reclaim their idle homesteads into farmland to generate quota. However, the current price of quota, which is based on the cost of land reclamation, is unable to motivate farmers. Therefore, according to the main characteristics of the quota transaction, the first price sealed-bid sequential auction and the second price sealed-bid sequential auction are built with complementarity. Furthermore, the influence of relevant factors on the bidding price of construction land and its quota is studied through theoretical and numerical analysis under two kinds of sequential auction. The results indicate that the bidding price of the quota is affected by the number of bidders and the fine on a developer for it delaying construction. More specifically, under two kinds of sequential auction, the bidding price decreases with the increase of the number of bidders, but increases with the rise of the fine. And the bidding price of the bidder who gets the quota in the land auction increases with the increase of the parameter of land price appreciation. It is found that the bidding price of quota and construction land in second price seal-bid auction are higher. Then, it is recommended that the local governments should appropriately increase the fine for delaying construction to raise the bidding price of the quota. As a result, the farmers’ income is raised and more farmers are encouraged to reclaim idle homesteads. It might also be beneficial for easing conflict between demand of construction land and farmland protection, and further promoting the sustainable development of China’s social economy. Meanwhile, in the second price sealed-bid auction, the bidder who wins the quota has a higher probability to obtain the construction land, which is more conducive to improve the utilization efficiency of the quota and construction land, and realize the optimal allocation of land resources.

The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on China’s High-quality Economic Development——Index DEA and Panel Partition Regression Analysis ZHOU Zhong-bao, DENG Li, XIAO He-lu, WU Shi-jian, LIU Wen-bin 2022, 30 (5):  118-130.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1040 Abstract ( 339 )   PDF (1536KB) ( 595 )   Save In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China has introduced a large number of foreign direct investment (FDI), which not only increased the capital supply and labor demand, but also promoted China’s economic growth and development. The report of the 19th National Congress pointed out that China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. In order to explore whether FDI will affect our country’s economy to develop high quality, based on provincial panel data from 2003 to 2016, from the economic fundamentals, the achievements of social development and ecological environment in three dimensions, the Index DEA model is adopted, the high quality and economic development Index are constructed, and then the panel quantile regression is used to explore the impact of FDI on the high-quality development of the economy. It is found that FDI can have a significant positive effect on the high-quality development of the economy in the central and western regions, and can promote the high-quality development of the local economy, while it has an opposite effect on the eastern region. The panel segmentation results show that FDI has an uncertain impact on the high-quality development of regional economy under the segmentation of 10%-30%, while FDI has a significant positive impact on the high-quality development of regional economy under the segmentation of 40%-80%.This will provide reference for studying the high-quality development of China’s regional economy, and provide enlightenment for local governments to reasonably introduce foreign direct investment and realize the transformation from the stage of economic growth to the stage of high-quality economic development.

Innovative Pivots or Conservative Shackles: How Can Green Supply Chain Management Practices Spur Corporate Performance? XIE Xue-mei, ZHU Qi-wei 2022, 30 (5):  131-143.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.0999 Abstract ( 401 )   PDF (1822KB) ( 533 )   Save Although previous studies have found that both green supply chain management practices and green innovationcan impact firms’ performance, and few have examined the internal mechanism of green innovation between the green supply chain management practices and firms’ performance. Based on the knowledge-based view, a three-order moderated mediation model is constructed in this research by introducing the variables of ambidextrous knowledge search and green social capital to explore the deep-seated mechanism of green supply chain management practices on green innovation and firms’ performance.The results show that firms’ performance can be significantly improved by green supply chain management practices, and green innovation plays a mediation role in the above relationship. Moreover, the mediating effect is further positively moderated by ambidextrous knowledge search, and green social capital positively moderates the moderating impact of ambidextrous knowledge search on the relationship between green supply chain management practices and green innovation. Overall, this study not only deepens the theoretical research of green supply chain management but also provides practical implications for firms to benefit from green supply chain management practices and green innovation.

Research on Vehicle Routing Problem with Truck and Drone Considering Regional Restriction YAN Rui, CHEN Li-shuang, ZHU Xiao-ning, TIAN Hao-tong, WEN Ya, ZHANG Qun 2022, 30 (5):  144-155.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2020.0755 Abstract ( 401 )   PDF (2540KB) ( 467 )   Save As the new force of modern transportation system, drone has many irreplaceable advantages, such as its high efficiency and flexibility, easy control, low energy consumption, and no occupation of road resources. But it is also restricted by many factors, such as the flight distance, complex flight environment and the law and policy barriers, which leads to the failure of drone to carry out the large-scale logistics distribution tasks. Therefore, the logistics operation mode of collaborating with truck has become the inevitable choice for the large-scale application of drone in terminal logistics distribution, emergency items distribution, military air transportation and other fields. This new logistics operation mode brings great challenges to the theory and practice of vehicle routing problem. In recent three years, scholars begin to pay more attention to this issue. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Research on E-commerce Supply Chain Decision Based on Different Supply Chain Powers of Third-Party Logistics Service Provider LIU Ren-jun, LUO Yu-jia 2022, 30 (5):  156-166.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.0811 Abstract ( 350 )   PDF (3206KB) ( 301 )   Save Strongly supported by government subsidies, third-party logistics companies significantly improve logistics services to attract online orders for the right to speak in e-commerce supply chain. By analyzing cost structure of third-party logistics service provider, the total logistics cost is broken down into fixed investment cost and variable operation cost. Logistics service affects both market demand and variable operation cost. In our model, three power structure scenarios are considered based on different supply chain powers of third-party logistics service provider, namely service provider dominant mode, logistics service provider vice-dominant mode and logistics service provider following mode, to examine the impact of power structure on supply chain decision-making. Our results reveal that the power of third-party logistics service provider does have an influence on supply chain decisions in e-commerce logistics outsourcing supply chain. Specifically, the smaller power the third-party logistics service provider has, the greater the logistics service level, market size, manufacturer profit and online retailer profit would be. Besides, wholesale price, retail price, and logistics service provider's profit relationship under different power structures are jointly affected by the logistics investment coefficient and logistics distribution costs. Under certain conditions, the e-commerce logistics outsourcing supply chain reaches Pareto optimal solution. In addition, decreasing logistics service investment coefficient and increasing logistics service cost coefficient and unit logistics charge can positively enhance the logistics service level, market demand and profits of the manufacturer and e-retailer. Based on sensitivity analysis, the functions of two types of government subsidy incentives are studied so that suggestions can be provided for policy makers and supply chain parties.

Strategic Introduction of the Marketplace Channel Considering E-commerce Platform Service Investment DUAN Yu-lan, WANG Yong 2022, 30 (5):  167-179.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1382 Abstract ( 282 )   PDF (1936KB) ( 325 )   Save There are two main sales channels for the e-commerce platform: (1) reseller channel, the manufacturer wholesales products to the e-commerce platform, the ownership of the products belongs to the e-commerce platform;(2) marketplace channel, the manufacturer opens a flagship store or a specialty store on the e-commerce platform to directly sell to the consumer, pays a certain commission fee to the e-commerce platform according to the product category, and the ownership of the product belongs to the manufacturer. In recent years, some e-commerce platforms (such as JD.com, Amazon, etc.) that initially only have reseller channel have introduced the marketplace channel. After the introduction of the marketplace channel, channels on the e-commerce platform are highly competitive. Since the e-commerce platform has ownership of reseller channel products, therefore, most e-commerce platforms increase the competitiveness of reseller channel through service investment. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Long-term Effective Mechanism and Construction for Dynamic Evaluation HUANG Shi-tong, ZHAO Xi-nan, ZHOU Yan 2022, 30 (5):  180-191.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2017.1158 Abstract ( 287 )   PDF (1727KB) ( 425 )   Save The dynamic development of things increases the demand of dynamic evaluation methods. The static evaluation method solves problems of “utility measurement” and “ranking” that can be compared between the evaluated objects (decision making units).On the basis of the static evaluation, the dynamic evaluation method needs to solve the problem of comparing the evaluated objects’ “utility measurement” and “ranking” at their different periods. It requires the evaluation model and data standardization method possessing more long-term utility.At present, there are two widely used ways of dynamic evaluation: In the first one, according to the index information of each period, the traditional static evaluation is carried out to obtain the evaluated objects’ evaluation value, which is later utilized and processed to obtain a comprehensive evaluation value of various periods on multiple indexes of period.The second one integrates the index value of the evaluated object through the time synthesis on the index system, and then used the static evaluation method to get the final dynamic evaluation value. Both the dynamic evaluation ways need to determine the weight for the evaluation values of each time period.These two mentioned standardization methods, whether respectively standardized according to each time period, or standardized the data of several time periods, share the same problem of dynamic evaluation: the former one, which maps the data of each period to a unified interval, covers the overall differences of evaluated objects in each period, which may lose the compatibility and objectivity of the evaluation results of different period. The latter one, which can support the dynamic comparison between various periods, is sort of a “static” process that runs through these periods. Further, its evaluation result is only valid within the unified standardization of the various periods and is difficult to adapt to a new period. Therefore, although there are several methods of dynamic evaluation have been presented at present, there is still a lack of research on the analysis and construction of dynamic evaluation methods from the viewpoint of the effectiveness of dynamic evaluation. In this paper, a principle of building a long-term effective dynamic evaluation mechanism is put forward:based on judgment and processing of the long-term effectiveness of various evaluation techniques, this principle is composed of the classification of index types, the data standardization method of “datum period regression” which lacks the long-term effectiveness, and the selection of long-term effective evaluation methods, and integration of the overall evaluation mechanism.This paper is organized as following: Initially, the common evaluation data is classified into three types (natural data, social data related to money and artificial data obtained through expert consulting methods) and a long-term processing method for these data is put forward. Furthermore, a data standardization method called “datum period regression” is presented. Additionally, the Jingyou evaluation method based on linear weighted model is adopted to construct a dynamic evaluation mechanism of objective and democratic. Finally, a dynamic evaluation is conducted on technological innovation capability for four municipalities in China, by which the practical effectiveness of the result of this paper is proved. The evaluation method proposed by this paperenriches the comprehensive evaluation method and can be studied and applied more widely. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Information Disclosure Strategies in the E-Commerce Platform YU Hang, TIAN Lin, CHEN Yun 2022, 30 (5):  192-203.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.0355 Abstract ( 419 )   PDF (1555KB) ( 384 )   Save In the e-commerce platform mode, the supplier determines the product price, sells the product directly to consumers and shares the revenue with the platform. Usually, there exists information asymmetry in product (matching) attributes between consumers and product suppliers/platforms. In reality, a consumer is not certain about whether his private taste matches a product unless firms provide some information, and he will make an expectation about his matchness for that product if no information is provided. To resolve consumers’ fit uncertainty, a seller faces two complicated issues: how to offer product information for consumers and how much?What makes this issue more complicated is that even platforms can directly disclose product information. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Behavior-based Pricing in Two Competitive Supply Chains Considering Peer-induced Consumer Fairness Preference LIU Jing, NIE Jia-jia, YUAN Hong-ping 2022, 30 (5):  204-215.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.0923 Abstract ( 317 )   PDF (1383KB) ( 694 )   Save With the advancement of information technology, retailers often use data automatic collection devices to track and store information about consumers’ purchase history data, and thus new consumers and past consumers can be recognized. Not surprisingly, retailers often adopt the behavior-based pricing (BBP) strategy, i.e., to charge a different price for new consumers and past consumers. Additionally, it is observed that retailers sometimes choose to share consumers’ purchase history data with manufacturers, and thus both manufacturers and retailers can adopt BBP strategy. However, the adoption of BBP strategy has raised concerns about peer-induced fairness. That is, consumers will feel unfair if the price they purchase is higher than other consumers, which will consequently affect consumers’ purchase willingness. Following this logic, the question naturally comes out: when consumers are concerned about peer-induced fairness, is there any difference in different supply chain members’ adoption of BBP? And further, what is the difference? References | Related Articles | Metrics

Information Goods Online Pricing Model Selection Strategies in the Presence of Piracy MA Jing-pei, LI Wen-li 2022, 30 (5):  216-225.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.0374 Abstract ( 243 )   PDF (2029KB) ( 201 )   Save For online supply chain system consisted of information goods manufacturer and online platform, considering two types of information goods (traditional version and digital version) and the threat of piracy, three online channel cooperation models are developed: single traditional version model (S), two-version wholesale model (W) and two-version agency model (A). In order to provide references for online channel participants in decision-making, the profits under different models are compared and analyzed. The research shows that: When the difference between legal version and piracy version is small, or the intensity of piracy supervision is small, information goods manufacturer and online platform prefer single traditional version model; otherwise, they prefer to two-version model, if the platform commission rate is moderate, the manufacturer and online platform can achieve a win-win outcome under the two-version agency model.

Research on Bidirectional Demand Information Sharing in Supply Chain Considering Manufacturer Innovation WANG Wen-long, YAO Rui, ZHANG Su-xian 2022, 30 (5):  226-235.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.0248 Abstract ( 275 )   PDF (1605KB) ( 277 )   Save Innovative activities by manufacturers are conducive to promote the overall development of the supply chain. From the existing literature, it is found that market demand information has a huge impact on the profit of the supply chain, and obtaining market demand information is also of great significance for manufacturers to carry out innovative activities. The manufacturer’s innovation is considered and the two-way demand information sharing problem of a two-tier supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer is studied. Both the manufacturer and the retailer have some demand information, and the manufacturer conducts cost reduction innovations. There are four information sharing arrangements, e.g., neither sharing, the manufacturer unilaterally sharing, the retailer unilaterally sharing, both sharing. The equilibrium decisions are analyzed, and ex ante profits of the manufacturer and the retailer are solved to explore the information sharing value. It is found that the innovation investment increments of the manufacturer in the four arrangements of demand information sharing are positively correlated with the acquired demand information, but negatively correlated with the innovation coefficient. The manufacturer’s demand information sharing value is always negative in the case of the manufacturer’s unilateral sharing and mutual sharing of demand information, and is always positive in the case of retailer unilateral sharing. The retailer’s two-way demand information sharing value is negative first and then positive as the manufacturer’s innovation capability increases. The manufacturer innovation is introduced in the research of supply chain two-way demand information sharing, and related research is expanded, which has certain theoretical value and practical significance.

Research on the Evolution of Patent Alliance Enterprise Innovation Behavior from the Perspective of Fairness Preference XIE Gang, WU Si-yuan, GUO Ben-hai, LI Wen-jian 2022, 30 (5):  236-247.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1126 Abstract ( 189 )   PDF (4588KB) ( 232 )   Save The typical public goods attributes of patents in the patent pool are given by the patent cross-licensing clauses existing within the patent union. Based on the traditional public goods game view, under the guidance of no effective mechanism, the free riders of the alliance members cannot be avoided, and the group’s falling into the public goods dilemma must be caused by the individual’s pursuit of maximizing benefits. However, it has been verified by a large number of public goods experiments that with the repeated game, even if the supply of public goods generally shows a downward trend, voluntary supply of public goods still exists. It pointed out by some scholars that this phenomenon can be mainly explained by the theory of fair preference. Behavioral economics believes that people in reality care not only about their own interests but also those of others. Therefore, The factors that affect the innovation behavior of patent union members are explored from the perspective of fair preference, which provides a way of thinking for solving the problem of free riders within the patent union. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Optimal Service Contract Design of E-commerce Platform under Dual-channel Manufacturer Cost Information Asymmetry WEN Yue, WANG Yong 2022, 30 (5):  248-262.  doi: 10.16381/j.cnki.issn1003-207x.2019.1043 Abstract ( 284 )   PDF (3653KB) ( 268 )   Save In recent years, e-commerce platform has achieved great success, which leads to increasing manufacturers opening network channel through the service of e-commerce platform to broaden their distribution channels. However, in the process of contract design, the e-commerce platform faces one possible risk: cost asymmetry; and he/she faces one problem: how to choose the type of contract. Therefore, in the online platform selling model consisting with an e-commerce platform and a dual-channel manufacturer, based on two typical revenue models of e-commerce platform (advertising model and brokerage model), two service contracts (advertising-type and brokerage-type) are designed. References | Related Articles | Metrics
