In the modern society with rapid information dispersion,environment-friendly behavior gradually becomes a substantial factor in the environmental regulation,and it will play a more important role with the help of information disclosure which is a new tool of environmental regulation.To accomplish energy conservation,emission reduction and low-carbon economy development,an environmental regulation policy should be well-designed in order to cope with the interpenetration of environment-friendly behavior into the application of usual regulation tools.Is there any difference in the Pigouvian tax considering the environment-friendly behavior? Employing the Cournot model,the issue is studied,and the following conclusions are drawn: firstly,the amount of pollution discharge decreases with more intense reaction of consumers to pollution discharge,secondly,second-best Pigouvian tax equals marginal damage in competition and less than that with market power,given environment-friendly behavior,thirdly,the environment-friendly behavior is another factor reducing the Pigouvian tax,given the market structure,and abatement cost.
