Research on Different Cost Sharing Contract Options for Green Supply Chain under Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology can realize the information traceability of green products,improve the transparency of information and enhance consumer trust,and have a positive impact on green supply chain management.In this paper,we study the choice of retailers'cost-sharing contract in the green sup-ply chain under the adoption of blockchain technology,and establish four game models of retailers'no cost sharing(NC),retailers'green research and development(R&D)cost sharing(GC),retailers'blockchain technology cost sharing(BC),and retailers'simultaneous sharing of green R&D and block-chain technology cost sharing(TC),respectively.It is found that when certain conditions are met,the retail price,wholesale price,product greenness,blockchain technology level,manufacturer's revenue,and retailer's revenue of the four game models increase with the increase of the green product preference coefficient and blockchain technology preference coefficient,and decrease with the increase of the green product research and development cost and blockchain technology cost.Cost sharing by retailers enhances selling price,wholesale price,product greenness,blockchain technology level,manufacturer's revenue,and retailer's revenue.When the cost of green product development is higher than the cost of blockchain technology,BC has a higher selling price,wholesale price,product greenness,level of blockchain tech-nology,manufacturer's revenue,and retailer's revenue compared to GC.When the retailer's cost sharing ratio is small,TC has the highest selling price,wholesale price,product greenness,blockchain technolo-gy level,manufacturer's revenue,and retailer's revenue under the three cost sharing models.
