Evolutionary game analysis of ecological cooperation in a supply chain ecosystem under government supervision by Mengmeng Luan, Mengmeng Luan, Linsen Yin, Linsen Yin, Mengting Ye, Lufei Huang

“…A sensitivity analysis of selected parameters is rigorously conducted.ResultsOur findings demonstrate that: (1) The government significantly promotes ecological cooperation among supply chain enterprises and can adjust system equilibrium by modulating the subsidy coefficient and regulatory costs. (2) Greater eco-sensitivity enhances advantages in eco-cooperation. (3) Establishing reasonable compensation fees between enterprises ensures effective eco-cooperation. (4) A company’s cost investment in eco-cooperation critically influences its engagement in such collaboration.DiscussionThe study confirms the government’s pivotal role in facilitating supply chain ecological cooperation through policy instruments. …”
