<p>This paper examines trade credit and bank credit behavior of firms during financial crisis using World Bank Survey dataset that contains detailed data on trade credit utilization of firms. Unlike literature, cluster analysis is used in order to investigate credit behavior of firms during financial crisis. For better clustering results, feature selection method is used to select variables thought to be important on model. When examined the trade and bank credit behavior of clusters that have been formed by using these variables with clustering analysis, it has been found that impact of the crisis on firms in the supply chain is important. It is found that due to demand fall for goods generated by crisis, firms are motivated to give trade credits to their customers in order not to lose them. However, firms need financial support either from the previous link in the supply chain through trade credit or from the financial institutions through bank credit.</p>

The paper, sampling the data from A-shares listed companies of electrical energy during the period of 2009 to 2012, checks out the influence of the enterprise’s market power on its capacity for trade credit and bank credit financing. The paper tries to find out the internal relationship among them by building linear regression models of the explained variable, Credit, the explaining variable, MP, and the control variables, SIZE, EBIT, LIQ, CFO, SBA and SBA*MP. In the study, we find that the target customers of trade credits and bank loans are almost enterprises with a high market power.

We investigate whether and how SMEs’ credit quality influences their substitution of bank credit for trade credit. Using data from the five largest European countries, we find that substitution of bank credit for trade credit decreases during the financial crisis, but it decreases significantly less for ex ante low credit quality firms. We control for pre-crisis or lagged firm characteristics including size and external finance dependence, industry effects, sample selection effects and cross-country heterogeneity. We also find that low credit quality firms increase their absolute and relative trade credit usage significantly more than high credit quality firms during the financial crisis. The effects are consistent across countries and stronger for net trade credit borrowers and financially constrained firms. The evidence highlights how credit quality influences demand-side driven substitution in SME finance.

For a supply chain coordination to be effective and profitable, it requires a working mechanism among its members to entice some players to join a partnership. Two of the well-known trade credits that are widely used by businesses are the permissible delay in payments and price discounts. This thesis presents models for coordinating supply chains with both trade credits. The first model investigates the effect of utilizing delay in payments in a two-level (manufacturer-retailer) supply chain. It modifies and analyzes three known models of different production and shipping policies to account for delays in payments; it then compares them and highlights the production policy that performed the best with the total system cost being the performance measure. The second model analyzes the coordination of a three-level (supplier-manufacturer- retailer) supply chain with the delay in payments. It analyzes nine different scenarios of permissible delay among the three players. A simulation study was performed and a thorough analysis of the results was used to identify the limitations of all scenarios and to draw some managerial insights and findings. The third model investigates the effect of coupling permissible delay in payments and price discounts for coordinating a three-level. The analysis considers nine different cases of delay-in-payments along with eight cases of price discounts among the three players in the supply chain, totaling seventy-two cases. The numerical examples and the sensitivity analyses show that the coupling of delay-in- payments and price discounts maximizes the supply chain profit more than when using a single mechanism at a time. The fourth model investigates a two-level supply chain by studying the effects of various scenarios for delay-in-payments when including some environmental costs such as fuel and emissions from manufacturing and transportation. The objective of the model is to optimize the environmental and the economic performance of the supply chain. The results show that delay-in-payments improves the economic and the environmental performance of a supply chain.

This paper considers a metal industry supply chain consisting of one supplier and one retailer. When the supplier offers the trade credit to the retailer, their target profit and the supply chains profit will change. We develop the metal industry supply chains trade credit-based buyback contract model and analyze the buyback based on trade credits mechanism for improving the entire metal industry supply chain operational performance and for distributing the profit. We also derive the optimal contract parameters for the metal industry supply chain coordination and the conditions for profits rational allocation. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the conclusions.

Operational collaboration in a supply chain is important due to the fierce competition among supply chains. However, the collaboration in a supply chain is often hindered by its distribution channel’s lack of funds. It is of significance to alleviate the capital constraint problem of the distribution channel and explore new joint operational and financial collaboration solutions. In this paper, we focus on exploring the optimal solution of operational collaboration in the presence of manufacturer collateral. We consider a supply chain consisting of a well-capitalized manufacturer and a capital-constrained retailer that faces difficulties obtaining credit from the bank. To help the retailer access financing for a purchase order, the manufacturer promises to pay the lender a proportion of the retailer’s loan if the retailer goes bankrupt. We find that when the bank credit with manufacturer collateral is considered as a mix of trade credit and bank credit, the retailer’s financing equilibrium depending on the maximum wholesale price what the manufacturer can set, can be neither trade credit nor bank credit alone, but a combination of them. Moreover, the retailer’s order quantity and the chain’s operational collaboration level will benefit from the manufacturer collateral.

This paper investigates the issues of financing channels (bank credit financing, trade credit financing, and dual-channel financing) and carbon emission abatement in a supply chain consisting of one capital-constrained manufacturer and two capital-constrained retailers. Compared with bank credit, we find that every member can make more profit under trade credit when only one financing channel is available. When both bank credit and trade credit are available, the retailers’ financing strategy highly depends on the interest rates charged by the creditors. In addition, we also examine the impact of financing channels on emission abatement. It shows that the manufacturer reduces more carbon emissions under trade credit. Interestingly, the emission abatement has nothing to do with trade credit interest rate when retailers only adopt trade credit, whereas it is closely related to trade credit interest rate under dual-channel financing.
