Low Carbon Strategy Analysis of Competing Supply Chains with Different Power Structures

Abstract

This paper investigates the emission reduction performance for supply chain members in both single-channel and exclusive dual-channel cases. Two game scenarios (Manufacturer Stackelberg and Retailer Stackelberg) are examined under different channel structures. Furthermore, we introduce government subsidies as an impact factor of low-carbon strategy adoption. In the single-channel (Case 1), we mainly examine the influence of consumers' price-sensitivity on channel members' optimal decisions. In the dual-channel (Case 2), we focus on the joint impact of product substitutability and different channel power structures on the optimal decisions under asymmetric related channel status. The analysis suggests that the Stackelberg leaders always perform better than their corresponding followers before emission reduction, while they may not necessarily yield more benefits after emission reduction. The implementation of low-carbon strategy depends on parameters like product substitutability and channel base demand. Finally, all the supply chain members will encounter a Prisoner's Dilemma when the product substitutability is relatively high.

An Empirical Research on Bank Client Credit Assessments

“…At that time, it was mostly applied to researching the problem structure of the world and cooperating with the complex structure to conduct analysis to further develop and adapt to changes. In retrospect of the three related existing fields of research, mode, and data, they were used to research the world's complex and intractable problem at that time, such as race, hunger, environmental protection, energy, and other problems [15,16].…”

An Empirical Study on the Design of China High-Speed Rail Express Train Operation Plan—From a Sustainable Transport Perspective

“…As can be seen from the above, experts and scholars have conducted many studies on different types of trains such as high-speed railway passenger trains, ordinary passenger trains, freight trains, and mail and luggage vans, but there are still some defects in the design of a high-speed railway express train. Therefore, it is necessary to study the contents of the train operation plan including the operating time of the train, the proportion of different kinds of trains, the operation frequency, and the stop schedule plan [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Nonlinear Effect of Financial Efficiency and Financial Competition on Heterogeneous Firm R&D: A Study on the Combined Perspective of Financial Quantity Expansion and Quality Development

“…In this section, we study the impact of qualitative improvements in financial development on firms' R&D and further discuss the impact of financial development on the allocation efficiency of firms' R&D [37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Therefore, we use firm R&D as the explained variable, the qualitative indicators of financial development (financial efficiency, financial competition) as the threshold variables of financial scale development, and enterprise heterogeneity (total factor productivity) and the other variables as explanatory variables [44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”
