Influence Mechanism and Evolutionary Game of Environmental Regulation on Green Port Construction

Ports are not only an important driving force for the growth of the world economy but also the main energy-consuming unit and pollution source in the world. Under the new global energy crisis and environmental deterioration situation, the international port community has put forward the concept of green port development. As a guide, the government’s environmental regulation strategy can directly affect green port construction through market incentive or command control means and can also indirectly affect green port construction through the intermediary role of green innovation, industrial agglomeration and green logistics. Considering the strategic choices of the government, port enterprises and transportation enterprises, this paper constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model and considers whether the government carrying out environmental regulation is affected by the fine income and management cost, whether the willingness of port enterprises to carry out green port construction is determined by the extra construction cost and income and whether transportation enterprises choose green port logistics transportation depending on the extra income they receive. In the process of tripartite cooperation, the government’s environmental regulation, port enterprises’ green port construction and transportation enterprises’ choice of the green port logistics transportation mode constitute the most ideal strategy combination. Finally, the paper puts forward some suggestions for the strategy selection of the three parties in order to promote the realization of the ideal strategy combination and provide a theoretical reference for the construction of green ports

Research on Coupling Coordination and the Development of Green Shipping and Economic Growth in China

The shipping industry is an important indicator of economic development, and it is closely related to economic growth. At present, China’s economy has moved from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. The popularization of the green shipping concept also creates higher requirements for sustainable economic development. The core innovation point of this paper is to construct an index system of green shipping and economic growth in China, and to measure the coupling coordination degree and relative development degree of the two through the comprehensive development index in the form of overall and regional division. This is rarely covered in the existing literature. By constructing an index system for green shipping and economic growth, this paper calculates a comprehensive development index for the two systems and studies the degree of coupling coordination and relative development of the comprehensive system. The results show that, first, during the observation period, the comprehensive system of green shipping and economic growth in China has maintained a growth trend, rising from a near imbalance to a good coordination level, and the two have developed into a synchronous state. Second, the development of the Yangtze River Delta has been relatively rapid, closely followed by that of the Pearl River Delta, while the Bohai Rim area has seen the slowest development. Since 2010, China’s comprehensive system of 11 coastal provinces has mostly left the imbalanced state and it entered the coordination state by 2019. The results of the study provide some suggestions for the coordinated development of green shipping and economic growth
