Abstract: | Totalemission controlis an effective pollution controlstrategy.However, Chinese application oftotal emission controllacks reasonable and fair methodsfor optimaltreatment cost allocation,a criticalissue in total emission control.This paper considersfour approachesto allocate treatmentcosts.Thefirstapproachisto setup a multiple objective planning model and to solve the model using the shortest distance ideal point method. The second approachisto define degree ofsatisfaction for cost allocation resultsfor each polluter and to establish a method based onthisconcept.Thethirdisto apply bargaining and arbitrationtheoryto develop a model.Thefourth isto establish a cooperative N person game model which can be solved usingthe Shapley value method,the core method,the Cost Gap Allocation method orthe Minimum Costs Remaining Savings method.These approaches are compared using a practicable case study. |
