A Game‐Theoretic Approach to Quantity Discount Problems*
从博弈论角度分析数量折扣问题，包括非合作与合作模型，分别推导Stackelberg均衡和帕累托最优策略，并通过实例量化合作收益。
ABSTRACT The traditional quantity discount problem is analyzed from the perspective of game theory, including both noncooperative and cooperative models. For the noncooperative case, the Stackelberg equilibrium is derived. For the cooperative case, the Pareto Optimality criteria are used to find a group of optimal strategies. Both scenarios are illustrated through an example which quantifies the benefits resulting from cooperation between the buyer and the seller for game‐theoretic solutions using geometric programming.
