Evolutionary game analysis of green production transformation of small farmers led by cooperatives based on prospect theory

For countries with small farmers as the main body of agricultural production, green production transformation is crucial to achieve development. Based on prospect theory, this paper builds an evolutionary game model cooperative leading farmers, systematically deduces possible combination different strategies both sides, and puts forward targeted countermeasures for improvement. Finally, simulation verified, influence relevant parameters decision-making sides analyzed. In initial stage transformation, local government’s support supervision incentive strategy key successful transformation. Cooperatives can effectively promote farmers’ transition by reducing costs increasing their perceived ecological benefits, moral benefits brand but effect simply proportion dividends not obvious. Under cooperatives, there interval in which adopt cooperation fail realize income increase, so cooperatives should increase benefit distribution farmers. The research results provide reference also have strong enlightenment hitchhiking governance.
