The Impact Of Low-carbon Policies On The Pricing Decisions Of CLSC

Nowadays, with increasingly scarce resources and environmental pollution growing, the closed-loop supply chain introduced the recycling of waste products into the traditional forward supply chain, which in line with the concept of sustainable development and is recognized by the society from all walks of life and develop rapidly. Meanwhile the negative impact of greenhouse gas emissions in our country is rising, so our country is actively explore suitable low carbon policy for China’s current situation and has been put into practice.This paper mainly research on the optimal pricing problem of the closed-loop supply chain for new products and remanufactured products under carbon tax policy and carbon quotas based carbon trading mechanism. Introduction of exogenous consumer preferences to distinguish between new product and remanufactured product, in view of the enterprise by different low carbon policy constraint model is established. Bilevel programming approach is used to solving the model, the numerical simulation is used to find out how carbon taxes, consumer preferences, different discharge quota, market price and the price of carbon excess punishment influence the pricing decision of the enterprise. The setting of the policy parameters’ impact on the supply chain system are analyzed according to the results of the model. And then the paper carries on the comparison to different low carbon policy, put forward valuable Suggestions for the enterprise and government. The main conclusions of this paper are:(1) although the mechanisms of carbon tax and carbon quotas to a certain extent, reduce the profits of enterprises and improve the product price, but effective prompting companies to expand recycling efforts, change the production mode, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, save social resources, and also set up the green image for the enterprise itself. (2) In carbon tax policy, the manufacturer’s recovery rate and the carbon tax rate is not a simple linear increasing relationship, but first reduced and then increased. In carbon cap-and-trade policy, trading price play a decisive role on pricing decision of enterprises, carbon quotas only affects manufacturers’ profits. In carbon quotas punishment policy, punishment and emission quotas have influence on the model, the higher the punish price is and the lower the quota is, the emissions constraint is stronger for the manufacturer. (3) Carbon quotas punishment policy compared with carbon tax policy on enterprise emissions constraints, more direct, more stability compared to carbon trading policy.
