• Impact on Competition
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
Climate Change
• A major global concern requiring a sustainable and green economy
by adopting low carbon (Wu et al., 2017).
• A strategic approach to appeal to environmentally conscious
consumers, potentially capturing a price premium and/or increasing
market share
• Vital for green growth and long-term environmental targets. (Klier et
al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020).
• Necessitates continuous improvement and adoption of green
technologies.
Research Focus
Market-driven incentives for green product innovation in an asymmetric
duopoly.
Exploration of outcomes without relying on direct government
intervention.
RESEARCH
METHODOL
OGY
Game Theory Approach
• Analyzes market dynamics and competition effects on green
innovation.
• Examination of strategic interactions between firms in the market.
Research Model:
• We have two firms 1 and 2. they have to choose to manufacture
either brown or green product under asymetric cost and gain
conditions.
Parameters
Payoff: profit of each firm when both produced brown product.
Innovation costs: Impact of financial investment in green technologies.
Demand creation effects: Influence on consumer demand for green products.
Business stealing effects: Impact on market share and competition.
Harm to non-innovating rivals: Consequences for firms not adopting green
innovations.
SCENARIOS
Simultaneous game: No information Sequential game: One firm observes the
about the rival’s choice. rival’s decision before making its own.

MARKET OUTCOMES
DISCUSSIO
Fully green market requires all firms to have low innovation
costs.
Mixed market (green and brown products) possible with
extreme cost differences.
N
High innovation costs result in only brown products.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Policy Implications
Incentivize low-cost innovations.
Balance between environmental goals and product diversity.
Promote transparency in firms’ strategic decisions.
CONCLUSION
Future Research
Incorporate detailed demand specifications.
Explore multi-stage decisions and conduct numerical
simulations.
