The supply chain reduction and pricing model based on a progressive carbon tax policy
ZHAO Ming
Abstract：This paper studies the problem of emission reduction and pricing of a supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer. Firstly, under a fixed carbon tax policy, we establish the Stackelberg game model of emission reduction and pricing and obtain the optimal strategies for the manufacturer and retailer. At the same timed we analyze the influence of carbon tax on the optimal decision. Secondly, this paper discusses the problem of supply chain reduction and pricing based on the progressive carbon tax policy. The optimal strategy of both sides is obtained, and the difference of the optimal solution is compared under the two kinds of carbon tax policies. Thirdly, a numerical example is given to illustrate the impact of the progressive carbon tax policy on the decision of the upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain compared with the fixed carbon tax policy. Finally, in view of the negative effects of progressive carbon tax on the retailer's and supply chain's profits, we put forward the government subsidy strategy to improve the profit of all parties in the supply chain.
