Abstract:In order to solve the problems of carbon limitation and carbon tax mechanism on the multi-level supply chain between different departments, the model in the paper, which consists of one manufacturer, multi-distributor and multi-retailer, was built based on Stackelberg game theory. Because of the tolerance of carbon over-emissions from the enterprises, the paper studied the differential policies which contain carbon tax and the production-inventory systems. Comparing different environment about differential carbon tax and harmonized carbon tax, the paper presents and analyzes four game strategies about cost and carbon emission levels, and the non-cooperative game model under the guidance of the manufacturer and the retailer, and the cooperative game model between departments of the supply chain. The effectiveness of the model and algorithm were testified through the numerical example.
