ABSTRACT

Conflicting objectives exist between government and enterprises: the government aims to minimize detection failure rates, while enterprises seek to minimize compliance costs. Also, information asymmetry exists, where enterprises conceal actual emissions data, and regulatory agencies face resource constraints. To reveal the equilibrium state of government–enterprise behavior in emissions detection, policy effectiveness through mathematical modeling is validated. By adjusting payoff matrix parameters, transforms non-cooperative equilibria can be transformed into near-cooperative Pareto-improved states, enhancing overall social welfare. This demonstrates the optimization value of game theory for emissions detection under resource constraints. The constructed mixed-strategy payoff matrix for government-enterprise games displays that government monitoring can enhance penalty enforcement and cost-reduction efficiency improvement policies. Furthermore, incorporating long-term models is necessary to drive enterprises toward compliant emissions.
