Towards Zero-Carbon Cities: Optimal Sales Strategies of Green Building Materials Considering Consumer Purchasing Behaviors by Xiaoyu Zha, Zhi Yang, Bo Hou, Feng Zhang

“…This is because the introduction of a store-to-online channel can reduce online return losses by providing consumers with physical experiences. (3) When pursuing social welfare (refers to public benefits including consumer surplus, urban environmental impacts, and others), the D sales strategy is optimal if the matching rate is relatively large and the return cost is low. (4) Under certain conditions, governments should incentivize GBMs manufacturers and retailers to adopt the D sales strategy through regulatory instruments, so as to achieve a balance between economic benefits and social benefits.…”
