Abstract

Multiple stakeholders are involved when mining enterprises assume their social responsibility, so a tripartite game pattern among local government, mining enterprises and local community is formed after supervision is introduced. By combining evolutionary game model with system dynamics for simulation analysis, this paper studies the dynamic game process among the three parties and we find out that: (1) local government, mining enterprises and local community will eventually reach a stable equilibrium state (supervision, participation, performance), and it will simplify the evolutionary path of the stable equilibrium state when local government chooses supervision at the early stage; (2) local government plays a leading role in supervision, and the strategy choices of mining enterprises and local community depend on local government’s strategy and the relationship between the size of exogenous; (3) the formation of the eventual stabilization strategy is decided by the joint action of multiple variables, although every single variable will affect the strategy choice of all parties, so local government should deal with the relationship between various stakeholders properly.
