Table 6 Formation mechanisms of low-carbon policies and their impact on market dynamics.
Equilibrium Point | Government Strategy | Enterprise Strategy | Consumer Preference | Formation Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|---|
E8(1,1,1) | Implements low-carbon policy | Actively reduces emissions | Preference for low-carbon products | The government reduces enterprise emission reduction costs through subsidies and discourages non-compliant behavior with penalties. Enterprises benefit from low-carbon policies and are driven by consumer preferences to adopt green transformations. High consumer preference reinforces market dynamics |
E3(0,1,0) | No low-carbon policy | Actively reduces emissions | No preference for low-carbon products | The government refrains from implementing low-carbon policies due to high regulatory costs. Enterprises, driven by market pressure or carbon prices, choose to reduce emissions. Consumers show negligible demand for low-carbon products |
E4(1,1,0) | Implements low-carbon policy | Actively reduces emissions | No preference for low-carbon products | The government incentivizes enterprises through subsidies and penalties to engage in emission reduction, but insufficient consumer demand prevents full market alignment |
E6(0,1,1) | No low-carbon policy | Actively reduces emissions | Preference for low-carbon products | The government avoids intervention due to high regulatory costs. Consumer preferences and the herd effect drive enterprises to adopt green transformations. Enterprises profit from low-carbon technologies and market-driven mechanisms |
