A Game Theory Approach to Address Profit Conflicts in Environmental Regulation of Shale Gas Development in Chongqing of China
L. Liu, X. B. Jiang, X. Y. Lu, and S. Zhou
Abstract—The shale gas industry is growing very fast in
China. Its potential environmental risks cause disputes among
different stake holders. This paper used a game theory to study
the choice behaviors and their impact factors of environmental
regulators and production companies. The proposed model was
applied to a shale gas project in Chongqing, China for
demonstrating a case study in fast developing regions. It turns
out that the pressure of environmental regulators is high; local
residents may have the tendency to neglect the environmental
risk because of economic benefits. We propose the
environmental management pays more attention on heavy
regulations to over-standard discharge companies and
strengthen public participation by opening up more ways to
participate.
Index Terms—Environmental regulators, game theory, production company, shale gas.
