We investigate how government subsidies affect pricing and service-quality strategies under different online-recycling channel structures. We consider two cases: the monopoly case, where the manufacturer recycles by itself, and the coopetition case, where a platform and the manufacturer compete for used products while the platform provides services to the manufacturer. We find the optimal price and service-quality strategies in these two cases with or without government subsidy. We also examine the recycling outcomes in terms of total recycling quantities and the parties’ profits. We find that with government subsidy, in the monopoly case, the manufacturer is motivated to increase both acquisition price and service quality and thus achieves higher recycling quantities and profit. In the case of coopetition, the manufacturer enjoys similar benefits from subsidy, but the platform suffers. The manufacturer gains competitive advantage from subsidy by offering a higher acquisition price, which forces the platform to increase acquisition price as well. To compensate for this increased cost, the platform must lower service quality, which leads to lower recycling quantities and profits. Only when the subsidy is high enough can the platform benefit. We also show that a subsidy can increase the total recycling quantity of the system only when consumers are fairly insensitive to service quality. Our study contributes to the understanding of how subsidy policy interacts with different online channel structures.

平台或直接渠道:WEEE的政府补贴的回收策略

我们研究了政府补贴如何影响不同在线回收渠道结构下的定价和服务质量策略。我们考虑两种情况:垄断情况(制造商自行回收)和竞争情况(平台与制造商竞争二手产品,而平台向制造商提供服务)。在这两种情况下,无论有没有政府补贴,我们都可以找到最优的价格和服务质量策略。我们还将根据总回收量和当事方的利润来检查回收结果。我们发现,在政府补贴的情况下,制造商有动机提高购买价格和服务质量,从而获得更高的回收量和利润。在竞合的情况下,制造商可以从补贴中获得类似的好处,但是平台遭受了损失。制造商通过提供更高的收购价格从补贴中获得竞争优势,这也迫使该平台也提高了收购价格。为了补偿这种增加的成本,平台必须降低服务质量,从而降低回收数量和利润。只有当补贴足够高时,平台才能受益。我们还表明,只有当消费者对服务质量相当不敏感时,补贴才能增加系统的总回收量。我们的研究有助于理解补贴政策如何与不同的在线渠道结构相互作用。这也迫使平台也提高了收购价格。为了补偿这种增加的成本,平台必须降低服务质量,从而降低回收数量和利润。只有当补贴足够高时,平台才能受益。我们还表明,只有当消费者对服务质量相当不敏感时,补贴才能增加系统的总回收量。我们的研究有助于理解补贴政策如何与不同的在线渠道结构相互作用。这也迫使平台也提高了收购价格。为了补偿这种增加的成本,平台必须降低服务质量,从而降低回收数量和利润。只有当补贴足够高时,平台才能受益。我们还表明,只有当消费者对服务质量相当不敏感时,补贴才能增加系统的总回收量。我们的研究有助于理解补贴政策如何与不同的在线渠道结构相互作用。我们还表明,只有当消费者对服务质量相当不敏感时,补贴才能增加系统的总回收量。我们的研究有助于理解补贴政策如何与不同的在线渠道结构相互作用。我们还表明,只有当消费者对服务质量相当不敏感时,补贴才能增加系统的总回收量。我们的研究有助于理解补贴政策如何与不同的在线渠道结构相互作用。
