“…With the strengthening of government supervision, leading companies with a smooth transformation and low-carbon technology have strengthened their market leadership, while companies without low-carbon technology have adapted to the market or exited the market under carbon emission constraints, and the industrial structure has gradually transformed from a decentralized competitive structure to a centralized oligopolistic structure [40]. To better achieve inter-regional carbon emission reduction, the central government and local governments should take cooperative actions [41].…”

The implementation of low-carbon development and carbon reduction has become an issue of general concern. When local governments adopt carbon reduction measures, they inevitably have a negative impact on the economic development of enterprises and the daily lives of residents. However, the resolution of conflicts of interest between local governments, enterprises, and residents will have a direct impact on the motivation and effectiveness of local governments in implementing carbon reduction measures. This study takes China as an example, conducts a case review of the actual situation of the Zhejiang power restriction incident, and studies and constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model based on the local government, enterprises, and residents. By exploring the factors that influence the behavioral strategies of each stakeholder, this study finds the equilibrium conditions that the tripartite governance target model must satisfy. It is suggested that interactive feedback from enterprises and residents should be incorporated into the performance management of local governments and that performance assessment should be used to establish an effective responsibility and pressure transmission mechanism to help the government’s internal control to better implement carbon reduction policies.

“…When choosing high-carbon treatment, the disposal cost is C w2 . In addition, when PMs choose low-carbon production, the treatment cost of WWTPs will be reduced due to the decarbonization of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process (Liu et al, 2022). It is a free-rider effect.…”

The climate crisis and the increasing temperature of the earth have highlighted the need to reduce carbon emissions in supply chains, which has gradually become a global consensus. The focus has often been on traditional carbon emission industries, such as energy and transportation, while the pharmaceutical industry has received little attention. This paper, therefore, aims to fill that research gap by exploring the carbon emission reduction mechanisms of the pharmaceutical supply chain, specifically the role of public participation. We constructed a quadrilateral evolutionary game model, based on evolutionary game theory, consisting of local government, pharmaceutical manufacturers, wastewater treatment plants, and the public. By finding the equilibrium point of the system of replicator dynamics, evolutionary stable strategies are obtained. Our numerical simulation shows the impacts of the principal strategy change and the key variables. This paper also identifies some management implications: 1) When local governments implement a combination policy (carbon subsidies and carbon tax policy), the key is to formulate a subsidy level satisfactory to the four parties. If the subsidy level is in the middle level, the four parties are at their most willing to participate in carbon emission reduction. 2) When local governments implement a single policy (carbon tax policy), the carbon tax rate becomes the key variable. A high level of carbon tax accelerates carbon emission reduction in the pharmaceutical supply chain. 3) No matter what policies local governments implement, the free-rider effect between pharmaceutical manufacturers and wastewater treatment plants always hinders their low-carbon decisions. 4) Public reporting is an effective measure for promoting carbon emission reduction in the pharmaceutical supply chain. When local governments implement a combination policy, it can reduce the cost of reporting and improve the willingness of the public to report. Finally, we put forward suggestions for rationalizing carbon emission reduction.

“…As in the YRMRUA, more than 5% of the spatial expansion intensity is concentrated around core cities. Previous research has demonstrated that urban agglomerations encounter numerous conflicts during the construction and management phases [47], which always affect the size and capacity of urban agglomerations [48]. Additionally, the full potential of multi-poles can only be realized with a stronger population base and infrastructure in place [49].…”

The Yangtze River Middle Reaches urban agglomeration (YRMRUA) is a typical representation of policy-oriented urban agglomeration in China. In this study, we analyze the morphological characteristics of the built-up area of the YRMRUA, which is the research object, and we try to clarify changes in its development and the supporting role of policies. First, we used satellite image data provided by Google Earth Engine for supervised learning to obtain images of the built-up area land needed by the research. Then, we adopted radius dimension, spatial expansion intensity, and standard deviation ellipse successively to explore the spatial morphological characteristics of the YRMRUA. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) The built-up area of the YRMRUA with significant fractal characteristics has formed two parts, with diffusion-type fractals forming within its boundary and cohesion-type fractals forming outside its boundary. In addition, the fractal dimension has exhibited a gradual decline as time has passed. (2) The YRMRUA has gradually stabilized at a low rate of expansion of 0.2% per year. From the perspective of the grid, the spatial expansion intensity presented breakthrough and expansion in the second and third stages, respectively. The hot spots of space expansion with 95% confidence gradually changed from a point-like shape to a ribbon-like shape. (3) The expansion pattern of the YRMRUA showed a tendency of “northwest–southeast”, and gradually moved towards equilibrium. (4) A policy impetus has limitations, and the stages of space shaping has resulted in spatial solidification and differentiation. In response, we put forward suggestions for the objects and ways of policy functions, in order to provide references for the development of policy-oriented urban agglomerations.
