Abstract
The pollution and its governing problem have drawn the world’s extremely attention. To study the sensitivities of different governing methods, we formulate a dynamic system which is analyzed through two cases of noncooperation and with-cooperation among the enterprises and the government. The dynamic system describes the influences caused by the pollution control investment, the time delay of the abatement investment and the degree of the cooperation between the government and the enterprise. At last, we solve the optimal control problem based on turnpike theorem. It is shown that the economic output in a country could affect the steady state of the pollutant emissions. Moreover, the threshold value of time delay that the society can accept on the pollution control investment is non-integer. Furthermore, the environmental policies’ implementation could remedy the polluting weakness of the countries with higher economic outputs. Finally, we solve the optimal control problem in the G–P model through education promoting.
