Research on sharing information accuracy in supply chains

Information sharing is playing a key role in the supply chain coordination processes. Due to moral hazard, benefit pursuit, and other factors, the supply chain members do not always convey actual private information. That impairs the performance of supply chains. In this paper, a Stackelberg game model for a two-echelon supply chain comprised a supplier and a retailer is established, which takes sharing information accuracy as a single prime factor. Then the relation between supply chain members' benefit and sharing information accuracy is analyzed.
