Abstract:

We examine a supply chain with a single supplier and multiple retailers to predict the retailers’ actual ordering behaviors. If retailer orders exceed supplier capacity, a proportional rationing rule applies to allocate capacity among retailers. We propose a behavior model based on cognitive hierarchy theory, in which retailers with different levels of strategic-reasoning capabilities form heterogeneous beliefs about other players’ capabilities when choosing their orders. This behavioral model yields three interesting predictions. First, retailers’ order quantity is significantly below the Nash equilibrium. Second, the average order quantity increases as the number of retailers decreases or the supplier’s production capacity shrinks. Third, retailers’ profit first increases in relation to their strategic-reasoning capabilities and then decreases, indicating an inverted U-shaped relationship between retailers’ profit and strategic-reasoning capabilities. We experimentally examine the capacity allocation game with participants motivated by financial incentives. The results from structural estimations confirm the predictions of the behavioral model.
