Abstract: The decision makers inequity aversion behavior was embedded into the supply chain network equilibrium problems. The supply chain network was composed of many equity-neutral manufacturers, inequity-averse retailers and demand markets. Based on the inequity aversion theory, the retailers utility function was established, and the equilibrium conditions of all decision-makers and the supply chain network were modeled based on the variational inequality and the complementary theory. The results show that the utility of the retailer, who has advantageous or disadvantageous inequity-averse behavior, is lower than that of the equity-neutral retailer. Moreover, the transaction quantity and the utility of the retailer both decrease with the increase of the inequity-averse coefficient. Finally, numerical examples are solved to prove the above conclusions.

Key words: supply chain network, inequity aversion, variational inequality
