To reduce the cost of energy conservation and emission reduction, some manufacturers will choose to misreport the green degree of their products, which may have some serious negative effects on the profit of the supply chain. To investigate the effects of the manufacturers’ misreporting strategy on the decisions and associated profit of the supply chain, we establish a two-period Stackelberg game model for a dual-channel manufacturer–retailer setting. Our results show that the manufacturers’ misreporting strategies lead to higher profits for them, which means that manufacturers tend to misreport the green degree of the products. However, the manufacturer’s misreporting strategy will put the retailer and the whole supply chain in a disadvantageous position and, hence, reduce the profit of the retailer and the whole supply chain. In addition, we also show that the manufacturer’s misreporting strategy only affects the greenness of the product and does not affect the pricing decisions of the manufacturer, the retailer and the whole supply chain. Finally, we design a revenue-sharing contract to achieve the coordination of the supply chain, which provides managerial insights for the decision makers of the supply chain.
This study assessing the lag and interactive effects between the daily average temperature and relative humidity on respiratory disease (RD) morbidity in Lanzhou, China, using data from daily outpatient visits for RD between 2014 and 2017 and meteorological and pollutant data during the same period analyzed with Poisson generalized linear model and distributed lag nonlinear models; the effects are further explored by classifying the RD by gender, age, and disease type. The results showed that the effect of temperature and relative humidity on outpatient visits of different populations and types of RD is nonlinear, with a significant lag effect. Relative to 11°C, every 1°C decrease in temperature is associated with 10.98% [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.87%–12.11%] increase for total RD. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is affected only by low temperature, upper respiratory tract infection is affected by both low and high temperatures, and asthma is influenced by high temperature. When the relative humidity is less than 32%, every 1% decrease in relative humidity is associated with 6.00% (95% CI: 3.00%–9.11%) increase for total RD; relative humidity has different effects on the outpatient risk of different types of RD. Temperature and relative humidity have an obvious interactive effect on different types and populations of RD: when both temperature and humidity are at low levels, the number of outpatient visits for RD is higher. When the relative humidity is ≤50% and the temperature is ≤11°C, total RD outpatient visits increase by 4.502% for every 1°C drop in temperature; that is, a dry environment with low temperature has the most significant impact on RD.
