Pricing decisions on products and byproducts are crucial to cooperation between different parts of the ecological industry chain. However, it is neglected by the current studies on ecological industry chain. The pricing decision models for the ecological industry chain with one leader and multiple followers were studied in this paper. We defined the static Bayesian Nash equilibrium for the pricing decision problem under incomplete information. The problem is divided into multiple sub-problems with complete information of which Nash equilibrium solution is a part of the Bayesian Nash equilibrium of the whole pricing decision problem with incomplete information. Stackelberg equilibrium solution for the decision problem with the dominance of manufacturer is obtained by the combination of the Stackelberg equilibrium solution for the transferred dynamic game sub-problems with complete information. Genetic algorithm was developed to obtain the Stackelberg equilibrium solutions of these sub-problems. Computational instances were given to verify the proposed models and methods.
