“…To address the complexity of electricity planning and management in decision making, Ahmad et al 30 have chosen a SD modeling and simulation technique to discuss the individual models in policy assessment and generation capacity expansion, highlighting their construct, outcomes, and any deficiencies. A dynamics management model was constructed by Jia et al 31 with the approach of SD to simulate and assess the effect of the air pollution charging fee policy on traffic and emissions in Beijing during the years of 2011–2025 in different scenarios.…”

This paper aims to explore the impact of government subsidy policies on strengthening the shared-bikes industry in China by simulating the operation mode of Mobike using system dynamics methodology. First, we introduce four subsidy policies: equalization subsidy, stage subsidy, growth subsidy, and back-slope subsidy, and establish a system dynamics model to characterize the bike-sharing operation dynamics system considering these four government subsidies. Subsequently, we analyze the impact of the four subsidy policies on enterprise-operating activities. The simulation results indicate that different subsidy policies have different incentive objectives and characteristics. The back-slope subsidy has more positive effects on enterprise operations in the short term but requires higher cost. The influence of growth subsidy and stage subsidy on enterprises can last longer, which requires the government to timely adjust the subsidy amount. The impact of equalization subsidy on enterprises is more stable, reducing government subsidy while ensuring enterprises’ regular operation.

“…Ultimately, the conceptual model for policy transfer is applied to review the potential for an improved policy framework. Jia et al [13] constructed a management dynamics model, which is the approach of system dynamics and implemented by the Vensim so ware, to investigate the effect of the air pollution charging fee policy on the haze pollution in China. In Jing et al [14], data envelopment analysis model was used to evaluate the industrial environmental efficiency in different cities.…”

“…Second, in the literature on the practical validity of environmental policies, although some policies such as speci c taxations and subsidy policies have proven to be e ective, not all policies meet the expected goals [13,18]. Some policies have not only failed to achieve the desired goals, but have brought a variety of problems.…”

The development of more effective environmental policies is a common concern among scholars, government and the public. This paper attempts to investigate whether the environmental policy mix can really work. Taking the “Five Water Co-Treatment” policy of Zhejiang Province as an example, we applied the synthetic control method to examine the impact of multi-objective environmental policies on industrial sewage discharge and urban sewage discharge in Zhejiang. Further, we analyzed the effect of industrial value added and the length of water pipelines on sewage discharge and examined the potential environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) relationships. Our results of synthetic control imply that the “Five Water Co-Treatment” policy has increased the industrial and urban sewage discharge. However, the results of the extended analysis show that this is a process of standardizing sewage discharge and an embodiment of enhanced sewage treatment capacity. Therefore, we believe that the “Five Water Co-Treatment” policy is effective and should continue to advance.

“…(3) The local governments: The behavior pattern of the local governments has two sides. On the one hand, due to the need for political achievement and promotion, local governments consider that "excessive" air pollution control will affect the development of local enterprises as well as local GDP growth and their political achievement, and therefore take a negative attitude and a position of inaction towards air pollution [50][51][52], and even conduct extreme acts, such as retaliation, against air pollution whistleblowers [53]. On the other hand, air pollution has not only received great emphasis from the central government, it has also caused great damage to the local environment.…”

During China's air pollution campaign, whistleblowing has become an important way for the central government to discover local environmental issues. The three parties involved in whistleblowing are: the central government environmental protection departments, the local government officials, and the whistleblowers. Based on these players, this paper has constructed an Evolutionary Game Model under incomplete information and introduced the expected return as well as replicator dynamics equations of various game agents based on analysis of the game agents, assumptions, and payoff functions of the model in order to study the strategic dynamic trend and stability of the evolutionary game model. Furthermore, this paper has conducted simulation experiments on the evolution of game agents' behaviors by combining the constraints and replicator dynamics equations. The conclusions are: the central environmental protection departments are able to effectively improve the environmental awareness of local government officials by measures such as strengthening punishment on local governments that do not pay attention to pollution issues and lowering the cost of whistleblowing, thus nurturing a good governance and virtuous circle among the central environmental protection departments, local government officials, and whistleblowers. Based on the study above, this paper has provided policy recommendations in the conclusion.
