“…Under uncertain demand, Cohen et al (2016) analyzed the impact of policymaking on manufacturers' low-carbon production by introducing government subsidies for consumers. To motivate individuals to reduce emissions, the government has also established a public emission reduction project to encourage individuals to sell credits on the carbon trading market (Han et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to find optimal emission reduction investment strategies for the manufacturer and examine the effects of carbon cap-and-trade policy and uncertain low-carbon preferences on emission reduction investment strategies.Design/methodology/approachThis paper studied a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer, in which the manufacturer is responsible for emission reduction investment. The manufacturer has two emission reduction investment strategies: (1) invest in traditional emission reduction technologies only in the production process and (2) increase investment in smart supply chain technologies in the use process. Then, three different Stackelberg game models are developed to explore the benefits of the manufacturer in different cases. Finally, this paper coordinates between the manufacturer and the retailer by developing a revenue-sharing contract.FindingsThe manufacturer's optimal emission reduction strategy is dynamic. When consumers' low-carbon preferences are low and the government implements a carbon cap-and-trade policy, the manufacturer can obtain the highest profit by increasing the emission reduction investment in the use process. The carbon cap-and-trade policy can encourage the manufacturer to reduce emissions only when the initial carbon emission is low. The emission reduction, order quantity and the manufacturer's profit increase with the consumers' low-carbon preferences. And the manufacturer can adjust the emission reduction investment according to the emission reduction cost coefficient in two processes.Originality/valueThis paper considers the investment of emission reduction technologies in different processes and provides theoretical guidance for manufacturers to make a low-carbon transformation. Furthermore, the paper provides suggestions for governments to effectively implement carbon cap-and-trade policy.

“…Figure 3 shows the relationship between the total profit of the green supply chain and the emissions reduction cost coefficient under low-carbon production. According to Equation (7), the smaller the emissions reduction cost coefficient, the more efforts enterprises will make in emissions reduction, which will further promote the total profit of the supply chain. However, considering actual situations and Ref.…”

Low-carbon production is currently the development direction of enterprises. The government provides low-carbon subsidies to low-carbon manufacturing enterprises to promote the formation of a green supply chain. To better encourage the development of the green supply chain by determining government subsidies and platform authentication fees, this paper constructs a Stackelberg game model that consists of a supplier and a manufacturer, and solves the optimal decisions of each entity using the backward induction method. This study uses the matching method to analyze the payoff matrix for supply chain members when choosing between low-carbon and traditional production. After introducing the online trading platform, the impact of the platform on the profit of supply chain members is studied, considering whether the authentication service provided by the platform is completely accurate. The results show that (1) in the green supply chain, there is a relationship between the enterprises’ profit and the level of emissions reduction, which increases first and then decreases. (2) The online trading platform is conducive to achieving green supply chain coordination. The government can pay fewer subsidies to prompt the formation of a green supply chain and the optimal emissions reduction level of the enterprise is higher. (3) When the authentication mechanism of the platform is imperfect, the authentication fee of the platform and the subsidy coefficient of the government need to be set within a reasonable range to avoid the enterprise adopting traditional production pretending to be the low-carbon type. This study contributes to research on the green supply chain and provides insights into pricing strategies for governments and platforms.

With the rapid growth of China’s economic growth, a large number of greenhouse gas emissions have led to a significant increase in environmental pressure. Currently, China has not yet achieved a good balance between greenhouse gas emissions and economic growth. To improve the sustainable development of China’s regional economy and effectively control domestic CO2 emissions, research is conducted to analyze the trend of regional economic change based on carbon emission policies. This study looks for suitable paths to achieve sustainable development of the regional economy. In this study, CO2 emissions were incorporated into an economic model to calculate the Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) efficiency value and its growth rate in each region of China. This was done to examine the productivity of each region in China. and it also aims to discuss the driving factors behind it, so as to give relevant policy suggestions that can help China’s sustainable economic development. The ultimate goal is to achieve sustainable RE development. The method used to measure the GTFP efficiency was the slacks-based measure (SBM) based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique. The regression analysis of the relevant drivers was based on the regression analysis of the panel data model. The research results show that the level of urbanization and industrial structure were the main influencing factors for the increase of CO2 emissions. Consequently, macro-regulation can appropriately reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, the implementation of carbon emission reduction policies such as industrial structure optimization, education investment, and market-oriented reform also promote the sustainable development of the regional economy. Therefore, appropriate carbon emission reduction policies can improve the level of sustainable development of the regional economy. It also can ensure the stability of the regional environmental level.
