How to Distribute Green Products in Competition with Brown Products? Direct Selling versus Agent Selling?
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
to broad referring in lines 29-32, 47
in line 71 I would directly call questions "research questions"
instead of we I recommend the usage of "the authors"
table 1 lacks a source
the text has scientific solid soundness due to created model of the game
the text has a theoretical framework but such theoretical papers are also very useful in science
the model could be described in a bit more detail way

Reviewer 2 Report
Starting from pricing strategies and the method of choosing sales channels, I consider that a comparative analysis of their main characteristics, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses (taking into account the four propositions described in sections 4.1 and 4.2) would bring more relevance to the statistics presented in section 5, which are otherwise quite difficult to understand for a reader not very familiar with the field addressed in the paper, and would increase the scientific value of the paper and, implicitly, the interest of the readers, offering at the same time time more information and scientific support for the concluding part which, in my opinion, should be rethought/restructured because it is far too extensive and difficult to follow and understand, if one departs from the stated objectives of the research.

Reviewer 3 Report
Use of English needs to be improved.
The writing should not diverge from the formal style.
A more concise introduction should be written to ease into the topic, as it stands, the intro reads more like a literature review.
The literature gap is not analysed.
The methodology needs to be analysed a bit more.
The two models need to be explained with more detail.
Section 5 refers to statics or statistics?
The contribution of the study can be analysed more.
Use of English can be improved.
