Abstract
This paper studies a closed-loop supply chain network equilibrium problem with online second-hand trading of high-uniqueness products. The closed-loop supply chain network consists of manufacturers, retailers, demand markets, and one online second-hand platform engaging in both horizontal and vertical competition. The optimal behaviors of all the decision-makers are modeled as variational inequality problems, and the governing closed-loop supply chain network equilibrium conditions are given.
