Effects of government subsidies on green technology investment and green marketing coordination of supply chain under the cap-and-trade mechanism

Decision-Making and the Contract of the Complementary Product Supply Chain Considering Consumers’ Environmental Awareness and Government Green Subsidies

“…For example, Yi and Li (2018) [ 32 ] explored the coordination effect of cost-sharing contracts on supply chains in the case of government subsidies and carbon taxes on manufacturers producing energy-efficient and emission-reducing products, and found that supply chain contracts can increase manufacturers’ energy savings and improve the profits of the overall supply chain. Li et al (2021) [ 33 ] formulated and analyzed three Stackelberg game models to compare the impacts of two types of subsidies (based on green technology investment cost or the amount of emission reduction) on green technology investments and green marketing coordination. Another two-part tariff (TPT) contract involving government intervention, in terms of taxes or subsidies, was proposed by Zhang et al (2020) [ 34 ], who demonstrated that the proposed TPT contract can achieve global supply chain optimization and aid in achieving green improvement.…”

“…Therefore, the green products are costly because of the green technologies or the introduction of new equipment reducing the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. By referring to [ 27 , 33 ], it can be observed that the green production costs faced by the manufacturer are and , respectively, where is the manufacturer’s green manufacturing coefficient. Similar to Dobson et al (2020) [ 16 ], we set the production cost of the complementary products to zero.…”

“…The retailer offers complementary products to consumers at retail prices and , and receives green subsidies from the government. This paper considers the government’s green subsidy at a fixed rate for green products 1 only to the retailer, and this subsidy is linearly related to the greenness of products 1, i.e., the higher the greenness, the higher the subsidy, according to [ 33 ]. The unit product subsidy received by the retailer is , where ( ) is the government’s green subsidy coefficient per unit product.…”

Effects of Government Subsidies on Production and Emissions Reduction Decisions under Carbon Tax Regulation and Consumer Low-Carbon Awareness

“…Furthermore, concentrated on two types of subsidy policies introduced in our paper, He et al [45] discussed effects of different government subsidies on supply chain operational decisions based on the assumption of equivalent total subsidies under specific emissions reduction actions. Li et al [46] studied green decisions of a two-echelon supply chain under cap-and-trade mechanism based on a fixed green technology investment cost and concluded the conditions or circumstances under which a particular subsidy policy is more effective. In sum, the existing literature rarely focuses on the comparison of ER subsidy and IC subsidy, and does not consider the carbon tax regulation that affects the amount of government subsidy under ER subsidy.…”

Improving the Innovative Performance of Renewable Energy Enterprises in China: Effects of Subsidy Policy and Intellectual Property Legislation

“…Li argues that the government usually offers subsidies to firms under the cap-and-trade (C&T) mechanism to facilitate green technology investment and a decrease in effluence. However, the subsidy does not guarantee the total amount of green technology investment or carbon emissions reduction but relies on the amount of green investment, a reduced green technology percentage, and the carbon intensity of manufacturers [25]. Bian revealed that government investment effectively attracts private investors, improves the investment enthusiasm of firms, and has a significant impact on enterprise performance [26], which in turn helps to relieve the financial pressure on businesses and strengthens their economic performance.…”
