摘    要： In recent years, much attention has been paid to green production in the domain of market players and environmental policy. The study is conducted mainly from two perspectives of enterprise decision and government's intervention when consumers are environmentally discerning and heterogeneous. Enterprise decision is carried out in two aspects: pricing and green degree decisions and the decision of product differentiation. Government subsidies are carried out from environmental friendly materials subsidy and green technology subsidy. We first investigate the competitive equilibriums between two types of enterprises considering consumers’ willingness to pay in a full coverage market. Then, we explore the impact of environmental friendly materials for environmental impact and enterprises in each equilibrium state. Based on this, we present the raw materials intervention strategies. In order to further decrease the environmental impact, we investigate the use of green technology subsidy strategies to motivate enterprises to improve the green degree of products. In the further study, we discuss how one enterprise produces differentiated products to meet the needs of different consumers in the incompletely covered market. Then, we broaden it to a more general situation and develop a decision model that derives the optimal strategies for two enterprises with different green technical level and cost structure. Results show that the optimal strategies for the enterprise deeply depend on consumers’ willingness to pay and the enterprise’s technical parameters. More importantly, the existence of equilibrium state needs consumers’ willingness to pay satisfy some threshold. The government intervention can encourage enterprise to improve green degree and decrease environmental impact.
