Abstract:
This study investigates the green new product development problem faced by a capital-constrned Small and Medium Enterprise SME entrepreneur operating under risk aversion within a supply chn managed through digital platforms. The entrepreneur seeks financial support from a multi-sided FinTech platform MSP, which offers combinations of equity financing EF and debt financing DF. The MSP must decide on the interest rate for its DF service while considering environmental policies that promote green entrepreneurship.
We begin by establishing an analytical framework to characterize the production decisions made by both the supply chn and the MSP under a deregulated scenario. This lays the groundwork for understanding the dynamics in an unregulated market environment.
Subsequently, we develop a three-level game-theoretical model focusing on alternative scenarios incorporating government intervention as part of hybrid environmental-green entrepreneurship policies. The model sequentially examines the decision-making process involving the government, the MSP, and the SME entrepreneur. We analyze the outcomes based on various policy approaches economic influence vs. social welfare maximization and the risk attitude of the FinTech platform.
The findings demonstrate that a regulated scenario yields superior outcomes when coupled with an appropriate governmental intervention strategy. This is particularly true in cases where the FinTech platform exhibits a neutral risk profile, striking a balance between EF and DF services. However, for platforms characterized by risk aversion and governments solely focused on economic gns over social welfare considerations, a win-win situation may not be achievable.
To effectively promote sustnable supply chn finance SSCF via digital platforms, policymakers are encouraged to leverage their legislative powers and prioritize green entrepreneurship alongside broader societal benefits over narrow financial objectives.
