In this paper, we investigate transboundary pollution problems in the Yangtze River Delta Region where emission permits trading and abatement costs under learning by doing. At first, we use the optimal control theory to analyze two‐area transboundary pollution problems and give an empirical study for the Shanghai Municipality and Zhejiang Province by using four‐order Runge‐Kutta method and the authentic economic data. Then, we extend two‐area transboundary pollution problems to three‐area transboundary pollution problems and also give an empirical study by adopting the authentic economic data of Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province, and Jiangsu Province. Finally, we get a similar conclusion that the abatement cost will decrease with the amelioration of abatement technology.
