TL;DR: In this article, a closed-loop supply chain consisting of an upstream supplier and a downstream manufacturer is analyzed using game-theoretic models, where process innovation can effectively improve remanufacturing performance while increasing the recovery rate of the manufacturer.

TL;DR: Even though the effects of upstream and downstream mergers are different, the vertical supply chain partners will always try to reduce their losses if the market power effect dominates, but will take actions that improve their profits if the synergy effect is stronger.
