Abstract:

With the increasing pressures of global climate change, businesses are being forced to find a balance between achieving a green transition and maintaining economic efficiency. However, the asymmetry between the risks and benefits of green investments makes companies in the supply chain face difficult choices in the transition process. Although existing literature has explored the regulating role of the carbon trading market mechanism, insufficient attention has been paid to the potential risks associated with carbon price volatility, and it is not clear how the differences in green investment efforts between upstream and downstream firms in the supply chain affect the investment decisions of firms in green transformation. Therefore, this paper quantifies the risk of carbon price fluctuation based on the statistical data of China's carbon trading market, and adopts prospect theory to portray the investment risk preference of enterprises, and applies the evolutionary game model to analyse the dynamic evolution process of the two-level sustainable supply chain system. The impacts of enterprises' free-rider returns, risk preferences, and government reward and punishment mechanisms on their strategic choices under different combinations of green effort levels are investigated. The results show that the government's regulatory behaviour plays an important role in promoting collaborative emission reduction among upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain, especially the regulation of supplier enterprises can significantly enhance the overall cooperation of the supply chain. Manufacturers with higher risk appetite are more inclined to promote green technology innovation, while suppliers are more sensitive to government penalties in most scenarios. In addition, in some scenarios, the regulation mechanism of the carbon market can induce upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain to spontaneously carry out green transformation and realize win-win cooperation. This study provides suggestions for the government to optimize incentive policies in the context of carbon market regulation, and provides theoretical references for firms to formulate sustainable development strategies in response to carbon trading fluctuations.

The Carbon Cycle

The Carbon Cycle

Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Production Efficiency

Production Efficiency

Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Efficiency of The Carnot Cycle

Efficiency of The Carnot Cycle

The hypothetical Carnot cycle consists of an ideal gas subjected to two isothermal and two adiabatic processes. Since the internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature, which is the same before and after the completion of the Carnot cycle, there is no change in its internal energy. Hence, using the first law of thermodynamics, the total heat exchanged by the ideal gas equals the total work done. Thus, we can quantify the efficiency of the Carnot cycle via the heat exchanged...

Energy Budgets

Energy Budgets

Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Trophic Efficiency

Trophic Efficiency

Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is a measure of the total energy transfer from one trophic level to the next. Due to extensive energy loss as metabolic heat, an average of only 10% of the original energy obtained is passed on to the next level. This pattern of energy loss severely limits the possible number of trophic levels in a food chain.
