Summary: The government plays a crucial role in regulating the closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). Through the reward-penalty mechanism and subsidy mechanism, the government can increase the collection rate and profits of partners in the CLSC, while maximizing social welfare. The research findings indicate that the reward-penalty mechanism is more feasible than the subsidy mechanism.

Summary: In order to enhance the product ecological design and collection efficiency of closed-loop supply chain, the paper proposes three responsibility sharing models and investigates their impact on optimal decisions and profits. The study shows that responsibility sharing can improve the collection efficiency of the supply chain and the optimal sharing ratios depend on the relative environmental impact of using recycled materials.

Summary: The study shows that both the reward-penalty mechanism (RPM) and altruistic preference (AP) can help improve recycling service level, quality, and quantity. However, the RPM may not always be beneficial in raising recycling prices under the influence of AP. Consumers benefit from both incentive mechanisms, with social welfare changing based on the intensity of RPM or the coefficient of AP.

Summary: This study establishes five cooperation models of closed-loop supply chains under the government's reward-penalty mechanism, effectively increasing the recycling rate and total profit. The more members participate in cooperation, the higher the profit obtained by the supply chain, but it is important to be aware of the potential issue of monopoly resulting from cooperation mode.

Summary: In this paper, the authors examine a closed-loop supply chain consisting of a manufacturer with corporate social responsibility (CSR), a retailer with sales effort, and a third party responsible for collecting used products. Different game models are constructed for three channel power structures under information symmetry and information asymmetry. The study finds that the level of CSR influences the impact of channel power on the profits of the participants, and increasing CSR leads to higher profits for all participants. Additionally, the value of information varies depending on the channel leader and the level of information symmetry.

Summary: This study investigates channel leadership and performance in a closed-loop supply chain involving competition among an electric vehicle manufacturer, an electric vehicle recycler, and a third-party recycler. A game-theoretic model is developed to obtain equilibrium outcomes for the recycling channels and examine the impact of competition. The study finds difficulties in aligning preferences for recycling leadership mode, emphasizing the need for technological advancements and governmental intervention. It highlights the importance of environmental responsibility awareness, environmental damage, and social welfare.

Summary: This paper investigates the reverse channel in dynamic closed-loop supply chain system and analyzes the decisions and profits of supply chain members considering the quantitative characteristics of products. The study shows the diverse optimal collection decisions for different development levels of the supply chain. A transfer payment coordination mechanism based on the Nash bargaining model is proposed to address the objective inconsistency between the supply chain and its members. Additionally, a case study using statistical data of Chinese new energy vehicles demonstrates the robustness of the results and offers recommendations for government and NEV managers in China.

Summary: This paper addresses the integration of sustainability and resilience in the supply chain, emphasizing the importance of information sharing and multiple sourcing strategies for enhancing supply chain resilience. The study utilizes fuzzy TOPSIS and a multi-objective mixed-integer programming model to optimize cost, energy consumption, and pollution while increasing job opportunities in the closed-loop supply chain. Real data from a tire industry is used to validate the proposed model, highlighting the necessity of combining sustainability and resilience in supply chain management.

Summary: The study examines the impacts of various factors in a closed-loop supply chain system with a dual-channel, introducing a new demand function format and considering the effects of different collection settings. Consumers' willingness to choose remanufactured products is found to have a more significant influence on prices and profits than their sensitivity to the carbon footprint.

Summary: This study examines the issue of remanufacturing patent licensing in secondary markets and compares two relicensing schemes. The results show that the OEM earns higher profits when licensing a third-party for remanufacturing, and consumers benefit more in this model. Additionally, when consumers have a high willingness-to-pay for remanufactured products, the OEM licensing the retailer for remanufacturing performs better.

Summary: This paper develops a game model to analyze the long-term collection strategies in a closed-loop supply chain with a manufacturer, a remanufacturer, and a retailer. The results show that the manufacturer can develop the remanufacturing technology quickly and achieve higher profits under certain conditions. The choice between direct and indirect reverse channels depends on the entry barrier and cost advantage.

Summary: This paper investigates two recycling cooperation modes, the recycling alliance mode and cost sharing mode, in a closed-loop supply chain. The optimal choice of recycling cooperation depends on the remanufacturing efficiency and the relative recycling cost efficiency of the manufacturer and retailer. The analysis shows that both recycling modes can lead to improvements for the manufacturer and retailer, with the retailer preferring the cost-sharing mode.

Summary: This paper develops a game-theoretic Stackelberg model to study the impact of different contract forms on channel partners' performance in a two-period socially responsible supply chain. The results show that a combination of wholesale price and revenue sharing contracts can coordinate the supply chain but fails to resolve channel conflicts, while revenue sharing contracts can effectively resolve channel conflicts under a two-period setting.

Summary: This paper investigates the optimization problem of the multi-level supply chain network equilibrium for multi-energy-efficiency products under different government subsidies and demand scales. The study reveals that there is a correlation between subsidies and demand scales with the marketing efforts of retailers, and the differentiation of demand scale eliminates retailers without a competitive advantage in the same market.
