Carbon Emission Reduction and Pricing Strategies of Supply Chain under Various Demand Forecasting Scenarios

This study incorporates consumer’s low carbon awareness (CLA) and demand forecasting into supply chains that adopt the cap-and-trade system. Three demand forecasting scenarios are discussed, namely, information sharing, full information sharing, and retailer-only forecasting. Strategies for pricing and reduction of equilibrium of carbon emission are derived. We also compare the decisions and profits in the three cases and present numerical analysis.
