Carbon footprint tax on fashion supply chain systems

摘要: In this paper, the impacts brought by carbon footprint tax on fashion supply chain systems are analytically examined. First, based various industrial practices in apparel, we construct two-echelon manufacturer–retailer analytical model. Second, exploring with a highly fashionable product, study how can affect retailer’s optimal choice of sourcing. We further investigate significance management under two commonly adopted contracts, namely pure wholesale pricing (WP) contract and markdown money (MM) contract. Our findings illustrate that: (1) WP case: A properly set tax, which depends product’s manufacturing shipping costs, manufacturer’s profit margin, successfully entice retailer to source locally. (2) Under MM case where is way that coordinated: (a) If equal difference between product costs from local offshore sourcing, then rates quantities sourcing modes same. (b) Similar case, prove determined always Further analysis extended models consideration having stochastically larger demand mode conducted.
