作者:

Highlights:

• The strategies of pricing, greenness investment and the adoption of blockchain are explored.

• The retailer and consumers always benefit from the manufacturer’s adoption of blockchain.

• The demand in the blockchain-supported model may be not higher than that in the traditional model under some conditions.

• When consumers have a small degree of uncertainty, subsidizing the retailer may have an adverse effect on the application of blockchain.

• The social welfare will be improved when the manufacturer invests in blockchain.
