How can rural China achieve sustainable development through inclusive innovation? A tripartite evolutionary game analysis

Chen Zhang · 2024 · Journal of Cleaner Production

Summary. This study uses evolutionary game theory to analyze how government, enterprises, and low-income customers interact to drive inclusive innovation in rural China. The research finds that government support must evolve across innovation stages—advocating initially, promoting during growth, then stepping back as markets mature. Low subsidies and high supervision costs both undermine innovation adoption. The findings suggest tailored policy mechanisms for different innovation lifecycle stages can accelerate sustainable rural development.
