Abstract

In recent years, air pollution problems become more and more serious, which led to China's economic development and residents' health poses a significant threat. In this paper, we proposed an environmental cooperation protection cost (EPC) model of the interprovincial air pollution. Then we use the data of sulfur dioxide from 2003 to 2013 to fit the environment protection cost function of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei. We then applied the EPC model to the seriously polluted Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei area of China. Compared with the current command–and– control regulation approach, the EPC model for the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei area decreased the total environmental protection cost, which proved that the EPC model was superior because it both mitigated the problem of air pollution transport across regional boundaries and utilized the available resources of the study area more efficiently
