Abstract
For the seminal model proposed by Nagurney, Dong and Zhang [1], we directly apply optimization theory and game theory to analyze equilibrium conditions for the decentralized and centralized supply chain network, without applying variational inequality theory. Then after, the price of anarchy (PoA) in supply chain network is defined and numerically analyzed. Sensitivity analysis shows diversified propositions.

The Price of Anarchy in Supply Chains: Quantifying the Efficiency of Price-Only Contracts
In this paper, we quantify the efficiency of decentralized supply chains that use price-only contracts. With a price-only contract, a buyer and a seller agree only on a constant transaction price, without specifying the amount that will be transferred. ...
Price of anarchy for auction revenue
EC '14: Proceedings of the fifteenth ACM conference on Economics and computationThis paper develops tools for welfare and revenue analyses of Bayes-Nash equilibria in asymmetric auctions with single-dimensional agents. We employ these tools to derive price of anarchy results for social welfare and revenue. Our approach separates ...
