“…Green consumer consciousness is a critical market force, which can constrain the environmental performance of enterprises [60]. When the government implements different policies on the supply chain, the green consumers have a major impact upon the government decision-making, and they will indirectly influence the decisions of the supply chain and social welfare.…”

Considering the preference of green consumers for remanufactured products, a dual-sale-channel supply chain model with government non-intervention, government remanufacturing subsidy policy, and carbon tax policy is constructed, respectively. The difference of the optimal decision between the firm and the government under the two policies is discussed in this paper. Meanwhile, we analyze the influence of green consumers on the government’s optimal decision, based on social welfare maximization. It is found that without government intervention, social welfare is the lowest. The carbon tax policy is better when the proportion of green consumers and the environmental coefficient are extreme or moderate at the same time. Otherwise, the subsidy policy is better. The carbon tax policy is more effective than the subsidy policy in controlling carbon emissions. Profit-sharing contracts should be established by enterprises and governments to achieve win–win results.

“…Sengupta (2012Sengupta ( , 2015, building on earlier work in the industrial organization literature (Bagwell and Riordan, 1991;Reinganum, 2007, 2008;Janssen and Roy, 2010), shows that firms may be able to signal their environmental quality through their prices if consumers (i) have sufficient information about firm costs and market demand conditions, and (ii) form particular beliefs if they observe nonequilibrium prices. The information and out-of-equilibrium beliefs are required to reduce the multiplicity of equilibria common in signaling games (Cho and Kreps, 1987).…”

“…As the increased awareness of environmental protection and the change of the consumption habits, customers are more sensitive to low carbon products and willing to pay extra price (Arora, 1995;Bansal and Gangopadhyay, 2003;Björklund, 2011;Paksoy and Özceylan, 2013;Chander and Muthukrishnan, 2015). In addition, customer environmental consciousness will influence carbon emissions reduction strategy and, in return, manufacturer will seek for optimal green technology investments to reduce carbon emissions for winning more customers (Geffen and Rothenberg, 2000;Laroche et al, 2001;Innes, 2006;Zhu and Sarkis, 2007;Sengupta, 2015;Jiang and Chen, 2016;Luo et al, 2016). Therefore, the attribute of low carbon has become an influential aspect for customers.…”

Low carbon economy has become a top agenda for many countries following the agreement in the Paris meeting on climate change. In this article, we take price and emission sensitive demand into account and incorporate competition between the two rival manufacturers in the demand function. This research takes more proactive actions incorporating carbon emissions in the strategic and operational decisions, which complements the existing literature on low carbon manufacturing, in which the carbon emissions attribute is often used as a constraint, or only the single manufacturer's demand is considered. Based on game theory, the pricing and carbon emissions reduction decisions are investigated. Our study contributes to the existing literature on low carbon manufacturing by specifically examining the impact of production efficiency, carbon emissions reduction efficiency, and market power structure on achieving low carbon manufacturing. Through the systematic analysis of optimal pricing and green technology investment decisions to improve the economic and environmental performance under different market power structures, our findings provide valuable managerial implications, which will help many manufacturing firms to make important strategic and operational decisions regarding low carbon manufacturing.
