Abstract: In this paper, we compare the outcomes of demand expansion and price premium effects in a dyadic supply chain. We find that in the decentralized setting, the output and effort, as well as the profits of both the manufacturer and the retailer under a demand expansion scenario are lower than that under the price premium scenario. Surprisingly, we find that under both the cases of demand expansion and price premium, the profit of the manufacturer is greater than the profit of the retailer, even though it is only the manufacturer who incurs all the cost.
