Abstract：To investigate the impact of government regulations on closed-loop supply chain decisions for e-lectrical and electronic equipments with different collection channels , three closed-loop supply chain deci-sion models with the manufacturer , the retailer , or third party collecting waste electrical and electronic e-quipment (WEEE) were developed respectively with or without government regulations .Based on game a-nalysis method , optimal government regulation policy tools , operation strategies and profits of CLSC mem-bers and social welfare are obtained .By comparing the optimal strategies and profits of CLSC members with or without government regulations , it is found that whether with government regulations or not , the manufacturer collecting WEEE is the best for itself as long as the unit collection cost of manufacturer is not much high , or else the manufacturer should outsource the collection work to the retailer .In addition , both the retailer and the third-party want to collect WEEE .Finally, under government regulations , the retailer collecting WEEE is the best for the whole society .
