Abstract:

With the change of human living environment, public health emergencies occur frequently in recent years. The mutual cooperation between the public and local government is an inevitable choice to deal with the public health emergencies timely and efficiently. Based on the assumption of bounded rationality, this paper discusses the evolution process of the behaviors of the public and local governments, and obtains evolutionarily stable strategies under different conditions. MATLAB is applied for simulation and to analyze how the rewards and the punishments to the public from local governments, the punishments to local governments from the superior departments, and other factors influence the public and local government's strategies. The results in this work show that an effectively promoted mutual cooperation between the public and the government and an active epidemic prevention can be achieved by improving relevant subsidy policies, popularizing epidemic-related laws and regulations, increasing the punishment for violating the epidemic-related rules and regulations, and increasing local government penalties for loosening epidemic prevention.

Key words: evolutionary game, public health emergencies, evolutionarily stable strategy
