Abstract:

With the development of mobile Internet technology and the popularization of e-commerce, more and more manufacturers choose to cooperate with online platforms to carry out sales and recycling business, thus forming an E-Closed Loop Supply Chain (E-CLSC). However, in the process of cooperation between manufacturers and platforms, the diversity and complexity of transaction modes and channel power structures have an important impact on the pricing decisions of the supply chain. Meanwhile, with the wide application of carbon trading mechanism, it is also important to deeply analyze the role of carbon trading mechanism on E-CLSC.In view of this, both sales and recycling services are considered as endogenous variables in the context of the carbon trading mechanism, two transaction modes and three channel power structures are considered, six game models are constructed and the equilibrium results are derived by solving them respectively. Firstly, the role of carbon trading mechanism is analyzed in depth, then the equilibrium results concerning different channel power structures are compared and analyzed, and finally the two trading models are discussed through a set of numerical values.The results show that (1) the implementation of carbon trading mechanism is effective in controlling carbon emissions, but supply chain members should also pay attention to the impact of carbon price fluctuations on pricing and service decisions, specifically, the increase in carbon price will lead to an increase in retail and recycling prices, and the impact on the level of service is closely related to the transaction modes and the power structure of the channel. (2) E-CLSC optimal pricing and service decisions are significantly affected by differences in transaction modes and channel power structures. In the self-operated model, the Nash gaming supply chain has the lowest retail price, the highest recycling price, and the highest forward and reverse channel service level; while in the agency model, the platform-dominated supply chain has the lowest retail price, the highest recycling price, and the lowest forward and reverse channel service level. (3) From an economic point of view, members themselves tend to bring more revenue to themselves when they act as dominant players, and the choice of transaction mode depends on the level of commission. (4) From an environmental point of view, the dominant supply chain with the lowest carbon emissions is significantly affected by differences in transaction modes.

Key words: electronic closed-loop supply chain, carbon trading, platform services, channel power structure
