 Dual-channel closed-loop supply chain with government consumption-subsidyWei-min Ma, Zhang Zhao and Hua Ke European Journal of Operational Research, 2013, vol. 226, issue 2, 221-227 Abstract: The government has been acting as an important role in the formation and operation of closed-loop supply chain. This paper focuses on how consumption-subsidy influences dual-channel closed-loop supply chain. After introducing government consumption-subsidy program and dual-channel closed-loop supply chain, the paper analyzes the channel members’ decisions before and after the government-funded program performance, respectively. Finally, influence of consumption-subsidy has been considered from the consumers, the scale of closed-loop supply chain and the enterprises perspectives, which provides an important basis for our propositions. The key propositions of the paper are listed as follows: All the consumers that purchase the new products are beneficiaries of the government consumption-subsidy in varying degrees; the consumption-subsidy is conducive to the expansion of closed-loop supply chain; both the manufacturer and the retailer are beneficiaries of the consumption-subsidy, while the e-tailer benefits or not is uncertain.
