Abstract: Atmospheric environment governance requires necessary cost input. Only by accurately calculating regional atmospheric environment governance cost and scientifically allocating it within a region can the operability and realization of the coordinated governance of the regional environment be ensured. Firstly, based on the consideration of avoiding the technological regression of decision-making units, this paper constructs a sequential SBM-DEA efficiency measurement model and solves the shadow prices of various atmospheric environmental factors, that is, their unit governance costs. Secondly, combined with the emission reduction potential, the total regional atmospheric environment governance cost can be calculated. Thirdly, the Shapley value method is modified to calculate the contribution rate of each province to the whole region, and the equitable allocation scheme of the atmospheric environment governance cost is obtained. Finally, with the goal that the allocation scheme based on the fixed cost allocation DEA (FCA-DEA) model converges with the fair allocation scheme based on the modified Shapley value, a modified FCA-DEA model is constructed to achieve the efficiency and fairness of the allocation of atmospheric environment governance cost. The calculation and allocation of the atmospheric environmental governance cost in the Yangtze River Economic Belt in 2025 verify the feasibility and advantages of the models proposed in this paper.
