A green path towards sustainable development: Optimal behavior of the duopoly game model with carbon neutrality instruments

In an effort to tackle climate change, the “Dual Carbon” target raised by the Chinese government aims to reach peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Accordingly, policy incentives have accelerated the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector. Whilst previous studies have focused on the bilateral game between governments and manufacturers, NEV development has witnessed interaction among multiple players. In this paper, we construct a quadrilateral evolutionary game model, considering the impact of government policies, manufacturers’ R&D investments, dealers’ support, and consumer choice on the evolutionary stabilization strategy (ESS) in the context of China. The results show that: (1) in the absence of government incentives, there is no motivation for manufacturers, dealers and consumers to consider the development of NEVs; (2) government incentives affect manufacturers and consumers on the evolutionary paths in the short term. In the long term, benefit- and utility-based limited rationality has a dominant role in the ESS. This study contributes to the understanding of the multilateral dynamics of NEV innovation and provides important implications to practitioners and policy makers.

“…Green behavior of the customers toward buying a product or acquiring services that infer the buying attitude toward organizational operations whether the product is manufactured under environment‐friendly environmental conditions (Darvishmotevali & Altinay, 2022; Hussain & Lee, 2022; Vazifehdoust et al, 2013; Zameer & Yasmeen, 2022). Green behavior also defined as the attention of consumers toward products that could be recycled and is manufactured for the betterment of society (Darvishmotevali & Altinay, 2022; Mostafa, 2007).…”

The study aims to explore insights into stakeholder engagement that how it amplifies consumers' engagement toward organizations. This study attempts to meet the literature gap by investigating the nexus among corporate social responsibility, green purchase behavior, stakeholder knowledge, and stakeholder trust by considering the Chinese Z-generation drawing on stakeholder theory. Structure equation modeling was majorly equipped to obtain the connections among adopted variables to compute the proposed relationships using the sample size of 611 (n = 611). First, a positive relationship was found between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green purchase behavior. Second, the study uncovered the significant connection between CSR and consumer knowledge. Finally, the study confirmed the positive relationship between CSR and consumer trust toward the organizations. This study endows with numerous interesting and fruitful implications for managers, practitioners, and policymakers. The current study additionally endeavors to highlight the notion of CSR in terms of stakeholders' engagement and how a firm can strengthen relationships with its stakeholders such as consumers. Besides, this study bears some shortcomings and several potentials for future scholars to consider similar themes to validate the outcomes within the Chinese market and across the world.

“…The result illustrated that environmental policies perform a more significant promotion effect on the implementation of OSC, while supply-side and demand-side policies have no direct effect on the implementation of OSC by developers. Hence, the government should optimize the policy system and implement a combination of mandatory policies and market-based instruments (Xue et al, 2021;Hussain and Lee, 2022).…”

The carbon-intensive economy has dramatically caused global climate changes and profoundly impacted humankind. As one of the largest energy consumers, carbon emissions in the construction industry (CECI) play a crucial role in achieving the carbon neutrality goal. Government behaviors could significantly affect CECI. However, few studies have comprehensively reviewed existing literature regarding the effect of government instruments on triggering carbon reduction. A total of 1,082 papers about CECI from 51 countries/regions were retrieved in this study, while 296 relevant articles on the government behaviors in CECI were collected to conduct further analysis. Based on the bibliometric analysis with CiteSpace, the co-occurrence networks of countries/regions, institutions, keywords and cluster analysis are applied to illustrate the characteristics of previous studies. Furthermore, a research framework has been formulated to review the impact of government behaviors on CECI during the life cycle of buildings. The result indicated that government behaviors could affect CECI through three stages, i.e., material production, construction and operation, which is considered the transmission path of government behaviors towards CECI. Moreover, the findings revealed that government behaviors present the most significant impact on CECI in the following sectors: 1) the green supply chain management and waste recycling in the material production stage; 2) the green building decisions and the adoption of off-site construction in the construction stage; 3) energy conservation behaviors and green retrofit decisions in the operation stage. Finally, this study discusses prior study gaps and provides potential directions for future research.
