Summary: This study examines the decision-making process of the closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) using a federated learning platform (FL platform). A game model is established, involving a manufacturer, a retailer, and a third party, to analyze how the FL platform influences the optimal decisions and revenues of the CLSC system in terms of information reliability, information security, and investment cost. Furthermore, a cost-sharing and revenue-sharing contract (CSRS contract) is proposed to coordinate the CLSC system. The findings suggest that the recognition of remanufactured products by consumers positively affects their price and revenue, while the use of FL platform ensures consumer information security and improves the CLSC.

Summary: This paper investigates the impacts of gray markets and blockchain adoption in a global supply chain. It finds that the gray market can affect the manufacturer's pricing decisions regardless of whether blockchain is adopted. The manufacturer's blockchain adoption can either promote or prevent the gray marketer's entry, and the authorized channel can benefit from blockchain adoption. The manufacturer's role as the first-mover and the real product quality also influence the decision to adopt blockchain. The entry of the gray marketer may promote consumer surplus in the foreign market.

Summary: This study examines the adoption of blockchain technology and information sharing in a low-carbon supply chain. The results suggest that supply chain members are more likely to adopt blockchain technology in the absence of sharing or in voluntary sharing scenarios. Mandatory sharing leads to participation in blockchain when the value-added service efficiency exceeds a threshold value.
