Pricing decisions in competitive closed-loop supply chains considering low-carbon technologies
In the context of global efforts to develop a low-carbon economy,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to explore the recycling and pricing decisions of closed-loop supply chains that consider low-carbon technologies.We study the closed-loop supply chain pricing decision problem of two competing manufacturers considering low-carbon technologies.Three decentralized decision models are constructed:neither manufacturer considers low-carbon technologies.only one manufacturer considers low-carbon technologies.both manufacturers consider low-carbon technologies.It was shown that the manufacturer considering low-carbon technologies gained more profits than the manufacturer not considering them,and that the competitive behavior between peer firms was conducive to increasing the profits of each member of the closed-loop supply chain and the whole system.
