Title
Mitigating contagion risk by investing in the safety of rivals.
Abstract
•We introduce the notion of contagion risk to the supply chain risk management area.•We examine whether and when investment in the safety of a rival is profitable.•We model safety perception and incorporate it into our investment decision analysis.•There is a threshold price above which the investment is always profitable.•The investment is less likely to repay when firms compete on quantity.•Below a threshold, the investment will disadvantage a third uninvolved firm.
