Abstract
This paper demonstrates that firms and consumers may mutually benefit from the economic recession if the supply chain structure is explicitly taken into consideration. The model characteristics include consumer heterogeneity, intra-channel mis-coordination, and strategic interactions in this upstream–downstream relationship. The analysis reveals the possibility of Pareto improvement along the supply chain, and identifies the concrete regimes in which these mutual benefits may arise.
