Haze Control from the Perspective of Microeconomics

Yi Ren

Abstract: In recent years, most cities in our country often fall into the dilemma of haze, and many cities become fog capitals. The increasingly serious problem of haze has attracted great attention from all walks of life and the international community. From the perspective of economics, the haze problem is a typical case of tragedy of the Commons, and the most important way to deal with tragedy of the Commons is the determination of property rights. Based on the theory of tragedy of the Commons and the method of microeconomic model analysis, this paper concludes that under the condition of clear property rights, the haze problem will gradually improve, and puts forward the economic method of haze control.

Keywords: haze, tragedy of Commons, clear property rights
