Improving the reliability of the information disclosure in supply chain based on blockchain technology

作者:

Highlights:

• This study focuses on transparency level of information disclosure decisions in supply chain.

• Two scenarios (i.e., with or without blockchain technology) are explored, taking into account information reliability and consumer awareness of transparency.

• Higher consumers’ willingness to pay may have a negative effect on demand and supplier’s profits.

• The subsidy can promote the adoption of blockchain technology significantly in the supply chain system, which benefits the supplier, retailers and consumers.

• An online retailer with weak market power can benefit both the offline retailer and the supplier.
