Dynamic game analysis of greenwashing in heavy-polluting enterprises and government regulation under the goal of"Dual Carbon"
To explore the governance of heavy-polluting enterprises'greenwashing under the"dual car-bon"goal,a two-party three-stage dynamic game model between government and enterprise is estab-lished.The action profile involves three stages:government intervention or not,enterprise's taking greenwashing or not and three modes of government intervention,subsidies,subsidies and incentives;subsidies,incentives and punishments.The research shows that government behavior can significantly influence the behavior of businesses,and vice versa.For the government,whether it will adopt interven-tion strategies is related mainly to the degree of green governance in the free market,the cost of imple-menting intervention measures,and the overall social benefits brought by intervention.For enterprises,whether they will implement greenwashing or not depends on the total losses and participation costs in-curred without greenwashing,compared to the benefits it could bring.In order to achieve the"double carbon"goal and sustainable high-quality development,enterprises should avoid opportunistic rent-see-king behavior,actively assume social responsibility,and carry out low-carbon green transformation.The government should optimize the external environment and improve laws and regulations,as well as con-trol greenwashing in stages and measures.
