Abstract

Effective governance is the fundamental guarantee for effective food safety governance. Food safety governance involves many stakeholders and complex interest conflicts. Effective coordination of the interests and behaviors of all parties is the key to improving governance effectiveness. One of the main dilemmas of food safety governance is information asymmetry. On this basis, this paper discusses the interest relationships and behaviors of the government, enterprises, and the public in the process of food safety governance, and constructs a behavioral game analysis between the central government and local governments and between the government, enterprises, and the public. The results show that the food safety governance is the most effective when the objectives and behaviors of governance subjects are consistent and compatible. The higher the cost of central government governance is, the more proactive local governments are in governance, the better the enterprise self-restrain and self-govern, the greater the enthusiasm of the public to participate in governance is, the more effective the food safety governance.

Summary

Introduction

Food problems have plagued the people for a long time, and safe and secure food is the foundation of human survival and development. Most 3-6 scholars' studies have shown that in the field of food safety governance, a single market mechanism or government mechanism cannot effectively solve food safety issues. It should be governed by multiple entities including the government, enterprises, and the public to guide enterprises to supervise independently, encourage social participation, make full use of internal and external resources of the government, reduce administrative costs, and improve governance efficiency. Game theory is a commonly used theoretical tool in economic analysis, which helps to analyze the essence of the problem more deeply It is essentially the study of the main body's choice of strategy behavior in the game process. This paper constructs a behavioral game model between the central and local governments, governments, enterprises, and the public, and analyzes the behaviors of food safety governance subjects, in order to provide reference opinions for food safety governance
