Adam Wadecki co-authors "Manufacturers' Competition and Subsidies to
Suppliers"
This paper examines the optimal subsidy decisions of manufacturers in four supply chain structures. These structures differ along two dimensions: competition among manufacturers and manufacturers' use of dedicated or shared suppliers. Manufacturer-provided subsidies serve to improve the supplier's financial state. We find that competing manufacturers face an important tradeoff. By sharing suppliers, manufacturers enjoy decreased subsidy costs because they reap the benefit of competitor-provided subsidies. On the other hand, by using dedicated suppliers, manufacturers may become monopolists when their competitor's supplier defaults. Download full paper.
