Analysis of the Mechanism of Political Cost in the Complex Environmental Governance System by Xintao Li, Tongshun Cheng, Zaisheng Zhang, Li Zhao

“…Public behavior is the core element that affects political cost consumption. (2) When political costs are extremely depleted, the public will neglect economic interests, turn toward environmental interests, and choose the negative participation strategy, which destabilizes the system. (3) The political cost signal at the optimal equilibrium point not only warns the government not to take the desperate action of concealing information asymmetry but also allows the government to let go of its hands to deal with the environmental issues. …”
