Abstract: With rapid economic growth, the ecological environment is subject to a huge test. The environment has become a bottleneck restricting the further development of the economy. Built on waste recycling, ecological industry chain is an important way to realize the sustainable development of economy and society. This paper establishes a three stage evolutionary game model of ecological industry chain. By mathematically analyzing the equilibrium points of replicator dynamics equations, we get the evolutionary stable strategies. By studying the evolutionary rules and taking the bottom-up modeling method, this paper constructs a multi-agent computational experimental model to analyze the evolutionary paths and trend of each subject. Besides, the case of Poyang Lake ecological economic zone is applied to verify the evolutionary game model.
