This week Southampton Business School is welcoming Dr I-Hsuan Hong from the Institute of Industrial Engineering at National Taiwan University. Dr I-Hsuan Hong will be presenting a CORMSIS seminar titled ‘Closed-loop supply chains: Government’s perspective and firms’ perspective in the e-scrap industry’.

The seminar will discuss the main ideas of dynamic games and using them in closed-loop supply chain applications: advanced recycling fee (ARF) and subsidy fee determination in a government’s perspective and recycling option in a firm’s perspective. In a government’s perspective, a Stackelberg-type model is presented while in a firm’s perspective, a retailer collection model is proposed.
