IMPACTS OF ENTERPRISE HETEROGENEITY ON LOW CARBON TECHNICAL COOPERATION STABILITY
Low carbon technical cooperation is a key path to reducing low carbon producing costs and raising market competitiveness,during which enterprise heterogeneity plays an increasing role.This paper uses gaming theory to study low carbon cooperation strategic selection and converging trend among enterprises from their gains and innovative cost heterogeneities.A larger cost/gain difference in either side between partnering enterprises adversely affects their low carbon innovative cooperation.Their cooperation will be uncertain if partnering enterprises need to pay similar costs and scales.Uncooperative partners need to be punished or decreased their gains,or cooperation brings higher gains,both helpful in increasing cooperative probabilities for partnering enterprises in low carbon cooperation.This paper presents suggestions on increasing enterprises'innovative capabilities,boosting governmental supervision and leading,exploring appropriate cooperative mechanism to reach an effective low carbon cooperation so as to promote a low carbon development.
