This paper studies the multi-product pricing and green product design strategies under different supply chain structures and government subsidy strategies. Considering different channel leadership, we establish the centralized (<i>C</i>), manufacturer-led (<i>MS</i>), and retailer-led (<i>RS</i>) supply chain models, respectively. By applying a game-theoretical approach, corresponding equilibrium pricing, green product design, and government subsidy decisions under different supply chain structures are obtained. Through comparison and numerical analysis, we find that: (1) the different subsidy strategies of the government have an important impact on green product development.

They can also bring the same social welfare and the same product to the green design level. However, the <i>MS</i> supply chain structure can bring more profit for the firm; (3) the consumers’ green awareness positively impacts the design and development of green product. Therefore, it is beneficial for the firm to adopt reasonable measures to boost the environmental awareness of consumers in order to realize the sustainable development of our society.Kelei XueGuohua SunYuyan WangShuiye NiuMDPI AGarticlegreen product designmulti-product pricinggovernment subsidychannel power structuresEnvironmental effects of industries and plantsTD194-195Renewable energy sourcesTJ807-830Environmental sciencesGE1-350ENSustainability, Vol 13, Iss 12446, p 12446 (2021)
