Abstract:This paper mainly studies the optimal operation strategy of three-tier supply chain enterprises considering the impact of carbon emission shift under the scenario of insufficient supplier carbon allowance, manufacturer carbon allowance surplus and retailer carbon allowance surplus. The super-network model is constructed by using the variational inequality theory. The results show that: (1) The endogenous carbon emission transfer rate of the network can make up for the insufficient carbon quota of the supplier, which helps to ensure the supplier's carbon emission under the network equilibrium state. (2) As the carbon emission transfer rate increases, the number of network equilibrium transactions in the supply chain super network generally shows a downward trend, and the network equilibrium transaction price generally shows an upward trend. (3) Due to carbon emission shift, the existence of the effect, the overall profit of the supply chain declines, supply chain enterprises should be alert to the impact of carbon emissions transfer.
