Based on the hierarchical structure, this paper divides the core subjects in the green manufacturing innovation ecosystem into the application layer, the support layer, and the scientific research layer, constructs the differential game model of the no-incentive scenario, the cost-sharing scenario, and the collaborative scenario, and discusses the incentive strategies of the three types of subjects and the ecosystem in the evolution process of the dual innovation balance. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The level of dual innovation balance effort of the three types of subjects decreases with the increase of resource costs and environmental construction costs and increases with the increase of innovation balance capacity; (2) Cost sharing from the application layer to the support layer and the scientific research layer can enhance the effort level of both, which in turn enhances the optimal benefits for the three types of subjects and the ecosystem as a whole; (3) In the collaborative scenario, the level of effort and total ecosystem benefits of the innovation balance of the three types of subjects are strictly better than in the no incentive scenario, and the Pareto-optimality of the three subjects and the ecosystem will be realized after the coefficients of the distribution of benefits among the three types of subjects are determined. Based on this, this paper puts forward specific suggestions for the optimization of the structural relationship of the innovation body hierarchy, the exploitation of green manufacturing resources, and the macro-planning of the management department.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0291811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,21]],"date-time":"2023-09-21T17:36:00Z","timestamp":1695317760000},"page":"e0291811","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Incentive strategy of dual innovation balance in green manufacturing innovation ecosystem: Based on hierarchical structure of innovation subject"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4798-2609","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hao","family":"Qin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hua","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"06","key":"pone.0291811.ref001","first-page":"75","article-title":"Research on the Path of Green Manufacturing System Construction in China Under the Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals","volume":"14","author":"JF Yang","year":"2022","journal-title":"Journal Mechanical Engineering"},{"issue":"3\u20134","key":"pone.0291811.ref002","first-page":"241","article-title":"How do firms meet the challenge of technological change by redesigning innovation ecosystem?
