Assumptions

Contents

1

The game participants are central government, local government A and local government B.

2

On one hand, local governments implement the central government’s APCP. On the other hand, they take advantage of fiscal decentralization to safeguard the interests of the region. Therefore, the local government’s strategy set is {completely implementing, incompletely implementing}.

3

Both the central government and local governments are affected by local economic growth and air quality.

4

The central government monitors the implementation of the local government’s APCP. The strategy set of the inspection is {completely inspecting, incompletely inspecting}.

5

In the scenario of inspecting thoroughly, if the central government finds that a local government did not fully implement the APCP, it would impose penalties on the local government.
