An application of signaling games for the analysis of information exchange in a supply chain

This paper explores a different approach to supply chain modeling through the game theory perspective. Particularly, we explain a two-echelon one single chan-nel supply chain under common assumptions through a signaling game with the classical structure. In our first approach, we prove that there are many different ways to obtain an equilibrium, but too many of these strategies do not necessarily imply cooperative behavior between agents. Later, we propose some modifications to the original assumptions which let us obtain a unique equilibrium that ensures a cooperative behavior between agents.
