Analysis of Coordinated Pricing Model of Closed-Loop Supplying Chain Based on Game Theory in E-Commerce Environment by Zhaoquan Zhou, Bin Gu

“…People have studied many pricing and coordination models by modeling the closed-loop supply chain system, but most of these models are based on the research under the conditions of market demand determination and information symmetry, which is far from the practice of the operation of the closed-loop supply chain system, so it is difficult for these studies to improve its theoretical guidance ability. Starting from reality, this paper fully considers various situations closer to reality, such as multichannel recycling, a conflict between sales channels and recycling channels, and double trust in a complex practical environment. …”
