Asymmetric carbon information in a dual-channel supply chain

This paper investigates the misreporting behaviors of the dual channel supply chain members and their influences on supply chain performance. The results show that there exist equilibrium solutions when manufacturer have the information priority. More importantly, considered about the dual channel of sales, we find the higher market share of the retail channel would encourage manufacturer to exaggerate his carbon emission information. And the higher market share of the retail channel would encourage retailer to understate his carbon emission information.
