Public Health Events Emergency Management Supervision Strategy with Multi-agent Participation

Abstract

Abstract The outbreak of COVID-19 has once again made people realize the great danger of public health events. To cope with public health events, the central governments in many countries have established emergency management systems and took many measures including non-pharmaceutical interventions, but the implementation efforts of local governments varied. And, the extent to which local governments implement emergency management measures affects the effectiveness of those measures. That indicates that the supervision and regulation to local government are needed in emergency management. As the participants of emergency management, many agents like central government, citizens, and new media all can be regulators or the subjects of supervision. So, how can these agents be prompted to make strategy choices in favor of emergency management supervision in public health events? To answer the question, we construct a game model with multi-participation. Pure strategy Nash equilibrium, dominant strategy equilibrium and mixed strategy Nash equilibrium are solved and analyzed. Besides, we conduct simulation analysis with Matlab 2020b to further analyze the model. The paper enriches the theoretical basis of emergency management in public health events, and provides suggestions for the supervision.
