Green Supply Chain Coordination Considering Carbon Emissions and Product Green Level Dependent Demand

Researchers developed a green supply chain coordination model incorporating carbon emissions and product green level-dependent random demand, analyzing buyback contracts with shared R&D cost between manufacturers and retailers. The model shows that both wholesale and buyback prices increase with manufacturer R&D cost-sharing proportions, while product green levels and channel profits improve with higher emission reduction efficiency and lower R&D cost coefficients.
