Abstract

The model of extended producer’s responsibility (EPR) has been widely used for construction projects supervision. This paper mainly focuses on environmental governance based upon EPR model, from the perspective of game theory application. Moreover, a dynamic non-cooperative game theoretical model is built aimed at maximizing both economic and environmental benefits, in order to find out the main factors that may affect the producer’s effort level. This paper also provides theoretical support for the environmental management of construction project as well as aids to improve the exiting supervisory mechanism of environmental protection.
