From Neighbors to Partners: A quantum game model for analyzing collaborative environmental governance in China

作者：

Highlights：

• A quantum game model of collaborative governance is constructed.

• The impact of local governments’ heterogeneity on a game system is studied.

• The control effect of the quantum mechanism on free-riding behavior is analyzed.

• An interpretation of the quantum mechanism is proposed for realistic application.

• An “Entanglement Agreement” is constructed to guide collaborative governance.
