The empirical evidence shows that there are certain extent financing constraints in China’s manufacturing firms, but the results are different with different variables to measure the financing constraints.展开更多

If the cost of bank lending is not very high,the capitalconstrained retailer can borrow money and make efforts. The reduction of bank interest rates,however,increases the retailer's efforts. We prove that there is a unique equilibrium point between the retailers. We find out the optimal interest rate of the bank and the optimal efforts by the retailer through numerical analysis and verify validity of the results.展开更多

Considering the mode of external financing,we obtain the optimal order decision of the capital constraint retailer,the optimal financing rate and the optimal wholesale price of the supplier and analyze the effects of owned capitals of retailer on the optimized decision-making of supply chain financial system.

The study found that the small and medium-sized enterprise has obvious cash flow sensitivity, explaining it is subjected to the larger financing constraints. The development of supply chain finance can alleviate the financing constraints of SMEs, but for large enterprises it is unable to play a corresponding role.展开更多
