Green innovation, implemented by enterprises, contributes to sustainable development and environmental protection. However, because of the high cost and high risk of green innovation, enterprises are reluctant to step into green innovation activities in practice. Government subsidies are conducive to promoting green innovation in enterprises. To investigate firms’ preferences for green innovation, we consider a three-player game in a supply chain where a government offers subsidies (price, innovation, or both subsidies) to a manufacturer and a retailer, while the latter two players cooperate with each other through contracts (revenue-sharing and cost-sharing contracts). By exploring the impacts of government subsidies and cooperative contracts on the optimal level of green innovation efforts and profits of participants, we find that: (1) for green innovation that leads to increased production costs, the government should subsidize both the retailer and the manufacturer to improve the level of green innovation; (2) the revenue-sharing contract is more effective than the cost-sharing contract under the premise of government subsidies; and (3) the revenue-sharing ratio decreases in production and innovation costs, while the cost-sharing ratio increases in these two costs.

“…e positive impact on the local economy development seems to have justi ed the support of the State in this type of sports development factor. e same applies to state support to national and international sports federations to organize global and international championships, as there are results that highlight the importance of direct revenues (ticket sales) with positive impact on the local economy development and also in tourism development 22 .

Resumo O artigo analisa o conceito de interesse público do desporto e os critérios que devem ser tidos em conta na relação de apoio entre a administração pública, os clubes e as associações desportivas. Metodologicamente, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas a nove dirigentes desportivos com responsabilidades diretivas: sete de clubes e associações desportivas e dois da administração pública. Os dirigentes consideraram que o desporto é de interesse publico quando: a) é desenvolvido na perspectiva da generalização da prática da atividade fisica e desportiva; b) proporciona beneficios para a saúde; c) serve como ferramenta de educação e de desenvolvimento social. No que respeita às vantagens utilizadas com o estatuto de utilidade publica, os beneficios fiscais e as parcerias com organizações do sistema desportivo, foram as mais apontadas. Os entrevistados consideram que o Governo deveria ter uma estratégia focada na definição de prioridades e de seriação de critérios de financiamento, no sentido de um melhor aproveitamento do papel dos clubes e da obtenção de resultados desportivos. Sugerem ainda um maior cuidado e rigor, por parte da administração pública regional, na avaliação do papel social e desportivo dos clubes e associações, tendo em conta o desenvolvimento do interesse público e social do desporto. Como conclusão o desporto e a atividade fisica devem ser considerados como atividades de interesse público desde que assegurem efeitos positivos nos planos da saúde e do bem-estar da população, proporcionem o desenvolvimento qualitativo e sustentado da prática desportiva e potenciem o desenvolvimento econômico-social.

“…9 9 Baade (2003) reported that about 30 per cent of the cost of the 54 stadia built for US professional team sports before 1939 came from public subsidies and 44 received no public financing, while for the 139 stadia built since 1945 at a cost of US$26.5 billion (at 1997 prices), over US$20 billion came from public subsidies. Since 1987, the costs have escalated and Baade suggested that the private share of costs goes towards added features (such as executive boxes) that increase the club's profitability.…”

Schwester (2007) argued that the public good aspects associated with stadium projects at Oriole Park and Jacob's Field, such as the prestige felt by the citizens, to some extent justifies public expenditure, but noted that the main beneficiaries are wealthy franchise owners. …”

Government Subsidies for Professional Team Sports in Australia

"Professional team sports represent an important aspect of Australian life. Interest is great, and a significant portion of household expenditure is directed toward sports-related goods and services. Based on international comparisons and on the size of attendance and television revenues, the sector should be highly profitable. Yet, significant amounts of public funding and regulatory exemptions are afforded to team sports in Australia. This article analyses the magnitude and reasons for government spending that subsidises professional team sports."
