Evolutionary game analysis of environmental pollution control under the government regulation

This paper studied a tripartite evolutionary game of stakeholders in environmental pollution control. Most previous studies on this issue are limited to a focus on system dynamics with two-party game problems and lack a spatial analysis of strategy evolution. The parameters adopted are too few, and the influencing factors considered are too simple. The purpose of the paper is to introduce more parameters to study, which will have an important impact on the strategy choices of participants and the evolution path of the strategy over time. We construct a tripartite evolutionary game model of sewage enterprises, governments and the public. We establish a payment matrix and replicator equations as our method, and we also implement parameter simulations in MATLAB. In summary, we found that the reward and punishment mechanism plays an important role in environmental pollution control. Specifically: intensifying rewards and penalties will help encourage sewage enterprises to meet the discharge standard and the public to participate in pollution control action. However, increased rewards will reduce government's willingness to adopt incentive strategies; Government's reward for public's participation in the action must be greater than the increased cost of participation; Reducing the cost of sewage enterprise can also encourage them to implement standard emissions. The research presented in this paper further improves standard emissions and designs reasonable reward and punishment mechanism.

Research on the Management Optimization of Industry-University-Research Cooperation Projects in Colleges and Universities from the Perspective of Collaborative Management

Actively launching industry-university-research cooperation projects in colleges and universities is an effective way to build an innovative country. The optimization of collaborative management of industry-university-research cooperation projects in colleges and universities determines whether scientific and technological achievements can be quickly transformed into real productive forces and whether the construction of an innovative country can be accelerated. Formulating scientific and reasonable policies, optimizing incentive strategies, risk management and benefit distribution, as well as optimizing personnel management, production management, and collaborative innovation knowledge management are conducive to improving the management efficiency of industry-university-research collaborative innovation and promoting the process of building an innovative country.

Sexuality in Emerging Adulthood

This book provides an in-depth examination of an important domain of development during emerging adulthood—sexuality. Emerging adulthood, which is a complex and dynamic developmental period, uniquely affords individuals a variety of choices with regard to sexuality; this volume addresses these various facets of sexuality to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the field. The first section of the volume offers conceptualizations and foundational perspectives on sexuality in emerging adulthood, with topics including theory, developmental considerations, sexual behavior, sexual beliefs and attitudes, associations with romance, casual sex, and sexual orientation. The second section systematically examines contexts and socializing agents of sexual development, including parents, peers, media, and religion. The third section narrows in on the overarching theme of the series by addressing factors leading to flourishing and floundering in the area of sexuality during emerging adulthood, such as effects of early adversity, sexual health, sexual well-being, sexuality and mental health, and sexual assault. Accompanying seven of the chapters are brief scientific reports offering novel related research. The volume also contains four method tutorials that discuss topics in sex research such as ethical considerations, recruitment and incentive strategies, and identity-affirming methods. Concluding the volume is a chapter presenting innovative new perspectives on integration of sexual health promotion and sexual violence prevention.

Incentive Contract Design considering Fairness Preferences and Carbon Emission Reduction Multiobjective Tasks

Considering the multitargets of corporate carbon emission reduction and the fairness preference psychology of the company, a government incentive model for corporate carbon emission reduction was constructed. The impact of corporate fairness preferences on government carbon emission reduction incentive strategies is studied. In addition, numerical simulation is used to analyze the impact of changes in correlation coefficients, fairness preference coefficients, and discount rates on the optimal enterprise effort coefficient and the government optimal incentive coefficient. Research shows that the degree of fairness preference of a company has a direct impact on the degree of corporate effort, while the discount rate will only have an impact on the company’s long-term effort. In order to improve corporate carbon emission reduction efforts, the government must not only consider the impact of fairness preference on corporate efforts but also flexibly adjust the incentive coefficient of long-term and short-term tasks based on the discount rate.

Heritage incentives programs in the province of Ontario: developing a standardized evaluation strategy

Financial incentives and property tax rebates are common approaches used to encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of heritage properties. The use of these techniques is employed across a number of Ontario municipalities. The purpose of this paper is to develop an evaluative strategy that can be used to better understand the process and improve the function of these programs. Through the review of a number of programs and relevant sources, a model was developed to allow for program organizers to evaluate and improve their heritage incentive strategies. This model incorporates both quantifiable indicators to assess program performance and opportunities for participants to express their opinions on the program process. The implementation of this program in local municipalities could provide the opportunity to make evidence based recommendations to improve the overall function of the heritage incentive strategy.
