  • Abstract

    Facing serious environmental problems, governments and manufacturers are taking action to reduce carbon emissions. Among these endeavors, carbon tax policy are widely adopted by governments, trade-old-for-new (TON) and trade-old-for- remanufactured (TOR) are offered by manufacturers and subsidized by governments. To explore the effects of remanufacturer competition and carbon tax on the manufacturer’s TON and TOR decisions and the environment, we formulate three profit maximization models and present some theoretical and numerical analyses. The results show that, under the remanufacturer competition and carbon tax, the manufacturer’s optimal price and production decisions mainly depend on consumer willingness and carbon tax rate. A higher consumer willingness to manufacturer’s remanufactured products will decrease the demand for the manufacturer’s TON, but it always increases the demand foe the manufacturer’s TOR. A higher consumer willingness to remanufacturer’s products will not affect the demand for the manufacturer’s TON; however, it will reduce the demand for manufacturer’s TOR. In addition, we find that a higher carbon tax rate always reduces total carbon emission reduction, and it may increase the manufacturer’s profit due to the increase in TOR demand.
