What does this research mean for the field?

Implementing green strategies yields higher economic returns for inland shipowners, leading to an expected long-term adoption rate of approximately 71.55%, and optimal government policy requires high initial subsidies that are gradually reduced as the market stabilizes. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate the evolutionary stable strategies of inland shipowners adopting green initiatives and determine optimal government subsidy mechanisms.

Overview

Evolutionary game modeling reveals early government subsidies drive green strategy adoption in inland shipping, highlighting the value of phased policy support.

Key Points

To evaluate the evolutionary stable strategies of inland shipowners adopting green initiatives and determine optimal government subsidy mechanisms.
Developed a decision-making framework incorporating price elasticity, market competition, green investment, and subsidy intensity.
Constructed a game-theoretic model involving two market participants evaluated across three alternative operational strategies.
Derived evolutionary stable strategies and performed sensitivity analyses on key market and policy parameters.
Shipowners implementing green strategies achieve higher economic returns, with long-term green strategy adoption reaching approximately 71.55% among inland operators.
Optimal government policy requires higher subsidy intensity during initial development phases and gradual reductions once the shipping market stabilizes at equilibrium.
