Higher unit additional income brought by the blockchain can bring higher economic and environmental performances, and the e-commerce platform financing mode is superior to bank financing mode. The application of blockchain may cause the manufacturer to change his\/her financing choice. For bank financing, with the increase of loan interest rates, the advantages brought by blockchain will gradually disappear, but this situation will not occur under e-commerce platform financing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>Blockchain is known for its information transparency properties and its ability to enhance user trust. However, the impacts of applying blockchain in a low-carbon platform supply chain with different financing options are not clear. The authors examine the manufacturer's strategic choices for platform financing and bank financing, whether to adopt blockchain, and the impact of these decisions on carbon emissions reduction, consumer surplus and social welfare. The research conclusion can provide reference for the operation and financing decisions of platform supply chain under the carbon reduction target in the digital economy era.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-02-2023-0235","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,18]],"date-time":"2023-07-18T11:45:31Z","timestamp":1689680731000},"page":"4397-4430","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["How does blockchain technology affect the strategic financing decisions of platform supply chain with low-carbon product?"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2680-5793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miaomiao","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinyu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuqing","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0015-7182","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoxi","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2024110805464229600_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2020.10.025","article-title":"supply chain with carbon emission limits","volume":"292","year":"2021","journal-title":"European Journal of Operational Research"},{"key":"key2024110805464229600_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.1016\/j.procs.2022.12.114","article-title":"Developing an anti-counterfeit system using blockchain technology","volume":"216","year":"2023","journal-title":"Procedia Computer Science"},{"key":"key2024110805464229600_ref003","article-title":"Fossil fuels subsidy removal and the EU carbon neutrality policy","volume":"119","year":"2023","journal-title":"Energy Economics"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2024110805464229600_ref004","first-page":"223","article-title":"Distributed Ledgers and operations: what operations management Researchers should know about Blockchain technology","volume":"22","year":"2019","journal-title":"Manufacturing and Service Operations Management"},{"key":"key2024110805464229600_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1016\/j.omega.2018.11.020","article-title":"The bright side of carbon emission permits on supply chain financing and performance","volume":"88","year":"2019","journal-title":"Omega"},{"key":"key2024110805464229600_ref006","first-page":"571","article-title":"Technological integration for increasing the contextual level of information","volume":"58","year":"2011","journal-title":"Analele Stiintifice Ale Universitatii \u2018Alexandru Ioan Cuza\u2019 Din Iasi - Stiinte Economice"},{"key":"key2024110805464229600_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Drechsel, J.
