Participation and Duration of Environmental Agreements
use su We analyze participation in international environmental agreements in a dynamic game in which countries pollute and invest in green technologies. If complete contracts are feasible, participants eliminate the holdupproblem associatedwith their investments; however,most countries prefer to free ride rather than participate. If investments are noncontractible, countries face aholdupproblem...
متن کاملEvolutionary farsightedness in international environmental agreements
This paper proposes a dynamic game model of the process through which countries join international environmental agreements (IEAs). The model assumes that both the number of signatory countries and the stock of accumulated pollution evolve over time, as a result of countries’ emission and membership decisions. The evolution of the number of signatory countries is described by a discrete-time re...
متن کاملInternational Environmental Agreements for River Sharing Problems
We study coalition formation and the strategic timing of membership of an IEA for environmental issues in the Coalitional Bargaining Game (CBG) of Gomes (2005, Econometrica). For the general CBG, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for immediate formation of the grand coalition. We apply the CBG to a river sharing problem with two symmetric upstream agents and one downstream agent....
متن کاملGrowth Heterogeneity and International Environmental Agreements
How does growth heterogeneity affect countries’ incentives to enter an international environmental agreement (IEA)? We address this issue in a twocountry model of endogenous growth. Two countries differ in their initial capital stocks, emulating a more developed country and a less developed one. Each country’s setup takes after that of Stokey (1998) but pollution is transboundary. Absent an IEA...
