In this paper we examine the biform games modeling framework. More specifically, we recast biform games as two-stage stochastic programming with recourse. The two-stage stochastic programming view of biform games is demonstrated in this paper on an example from Brandenburger and Stuart (2007)...

This paper discusses a family of two-stage decentralized inventory problems using a unifying framework (taxonomy) depicted as a multilevel graph. This framework allows us to model and link different problems of competing retailers who independently procure inventory in response to uncertain...

A finite set of outlets with randomly fluctuating demands bands together to reduce costs by buying, storing and distributing their inventory jointly. This is termed inventory centralization and is a type of risk pooling. The expected centralization cost can be lowered even further, without...
