The Impacts of Carbon Tax Policy on a Remanufacturing Supply Chain and its Implications

To reduce carbon emissions, more and more countries are imposing a series of legislations, such as carbon tax policy. This paper develops a game model to analyze pricing decisions of a remanufacturing supply chain under the constraint of the carbon tax policy. Meanwhile, we analyze the impacts of the carbon tax on optimal prices and production quantity of new (remanufactured) products, the profits for the manufacturer and remanufacturer, total carbon emissions and the remanufacturing rate. In addition, we analyze the impacts of the carbon tax on the equilibrium results by using numerical studies. Such analytical results throw clear insights in to the role of consumer's willingness-to-pay for the remanufactured product. It is hoped that all these conclusions and managerial implications may provide reference for the manufacturer and remanufacturer to optimize decisions under the carbon tax policy, and provide some theoretical basis for the government to adjust and design incentive policies.
