The Price Decision Analysis of Oligopolistic Firms Considering Low-Carbon Preferences Under Different Carbon Quota Allocation Mechanisms
Based on the decision-making of oligopolistic firms considering low-carbon prefer-ences under different carbon quota allocation mechanisms,a dynamic model of carbon emission reduction strategies and market competition of duo-oligopolistic firms is established to discuss the stability of the Nash equilibrium solution in the game model as well as the influence mechanisms of firms'price adjustment speeds,competition levels,and carbon emission reduction inputs on prices and profits.The results of the paper show that the profits obtained by firms in the bench-mark method are greater than those in the grandfather method when various factors change,and are more stable to the market competition;firms in the leading position have a great influence on the market and need to be careful in their decision-making;consumers'low-carbon preference contributes to the profits of firms in the same way,which is helpful to the development of small-scale firms;and the profits of competitors are not greatly affected by the increase in carbon emission reduction inputs of firms,but it may bring a unique advantage for them.The findings not only theoretically enrich the research field of firms'competitive behavior and carbon emission reduction strategies,but also provide useful references for the government in formulating the car-bon quota allocation mechanism.
