This paper examines the incentives of a manufacturer and a retailer to share their demand forecasts. The demand at the retailer is a linearly decreasing function of price. The manufacturer sets the wholesale price first, and the retailer sets the retail price after observing the wholesale price. Both players set their prices based on their forecasts of demand. In the make-to-order scenario, the manufacturer sets the production quantity after observing the actual demand; in the make-to-stock scenario, the manufacturer sets the production quantity before the demand is realized. In the make-to-order scenario, we show that sharing the forecast unconditionally by the retailer with the manufacturer benefits the manufacturer but hurts the retailer. We also demonstrate that a side payment contr...

The limits of sin taxation are examined through an estimation of a cigarette demand function, wherein the consumer can be priced out of the market, and a computation of all tax effects at the state level and their aggregation to derive the national revenue impact of federal cigarette tax increases. A considerable increase in the federal tax on cigarettes could price smokers in some high-tax states out of the market, while smokers in low-tax states are only minimally affected. This is clarified when the equity aspects of using federal tax revenues to finance national health care are factored in. Conclusions affirm the notion that there are limits to taxation, even the taxation of sin.

This paper reviews a bulk of the empirical studies on import demand estimates for Japan which findings are mixed and inconclusive. This review article contributes to the literature in at least two ways: 1. provide a detailed review on the papers which have studied the import demand behavior for Japan, and 2. discuss the issues of import demand framework with reference to Japan, in particular, the determinants of demand for imports. This is a survey paper, which reviews the studies that investigated Japan's import demand behavior in aggregate levels, particularly. This paper concludes that the results of Japan's import demand depend on the model specification and the estimation technique. This paper also reviews the issues, which are related to the candidate determinants of aggregate imp...
