With the gradual deepening of environmental problems and the increase in consumer awareness of environmental protection,many\nenterprises have already begun to pay attention to green supply chain management. However, the price of green products is higher\nthan that of nongreen products, which is an enormous challenge formany small- ormedium-sized enterprises. To study the pricing\nand coordination of green supply chains under capital constraints, a model consisting of a manufacturer and a capital-constrained\nretailer is established; the manufacturer invests in green products and provides a deferred payment contract. Setting the situation\nwithout capital constraints as a benchmark, this study explores the impact of the retailerâ??s capital constraints on the manufacturerâ??s\nproduct greenness design; an interesting result shows that deferred payment can help encourage the retailer to ordermore products\nand improve the profit of the manufacturer and the efficiency of the entire supply chain as well as the productâ??s greenness level\nsimultaneously. However, the profit of the retailer will be hurt by the deferred payment contract.Therefore, to guarantee the profit\nof the entire channel and to make the two agents obtain a win-win outcome, a new two-way revenue-sharing contract is designed\nto coordinate the green supply chain.
