Abstract:

Based on the multi-level perspective theory, the transition and evolution model is constructed by using the Agent modeling technology and system dynamics method to study the governance of air pollution and green transition in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The results show that industrial restructuring, as a new leading mechanism, replaces the traditional industrial sources pollution control system, works together with regional collaborative governance, coal combustion control, motor vehicle pollution control, dust control, etc., to promote air pollution control and green transition in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Factors such as governance policies, governance costs, and industrial scales have different impacts on the support of agent actors such as regime or niches. Governance policies are positively correlated with industrial restructuring, and negatively correlated with regional collaborative governance. Governance costs are negatively correlated with industrial restructuring, and positively correlated with regional collaborative governance. Industrial scales have a positive correlation with industrial restructuring, an U-shaped relationship with coal-fired governance, and an inverted U-shaped relationship with traditional governance systems. Environmental factors such as SO2 emissions, coal and gasoline consumption have a significant impact on industrial restructuring and regional collaborative governance. More green and friendly environment has a significant promoting effect on industrial restructuring and regional collaborative governance. The findings may provide an analytical tool and method for the process of regional air pollution control and green transition and evolution through model construction and simulation analysis.

Key words: green transition, multi-level perspective (MLP), air pollution control, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region
