Sharing a polluted river network∗
A number of agents (e.g., firms, villages, municipalities, or countries) are connected to a river network. Some agents are located upstream and some downstream. Upstream agents pollute the river network. To clean up the polluted river network, costs are incurred, and they are shared among the agents. In allocating these costs, the upstream-downstream relationship between agents has to be taken ...
متن کاملSharing a polluted river
A river carries pollutants to people living along it if it is polluted. To make the water in the river clean, some costs are incurred. This poses a question of how to split the costs of cleaning the whole river among the agents located along it. To answer this question, we resort to the two main advocated doctrines in international disputes: the theory of Absolute Territorial Sovereignty (ATS) ...
متن کاملComment on ‘Sharing a polluted river’
In Ni and Wang (2007) two solutions are given to determine the division of the cost of cleaning a river among the agents located along the river. For each solution the authors give three different motivations, namely (i) an axiomatic characterization, (ii) the solution is the Shapley value of an appropriately defined cooperative TU-game, and (iii) the solution belongs to the Core of the associa...
متن کاملSharing a polluted river through environmental taxes
n agents located along a river generate residues that then require cleaning to return the river to its natural state, which entails some cost.We propose several rules to distribute the total pollutant-cleaning cost among all the agents. We provide axiomatic characterizations using properties based on water taxes. Moreover, we prove that one of the rules coincides with the weighted Shapley value...
متن کاملCancer Risk Near a Polluted River in Finland
The River Kymijoki in southern Finland is heavily polluted with polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans and may pose a health threat to local residents, especially farmers. In this study we investigated cancer risk in people living near the river (less than 20.0 km) in 1980. We used a geographic information system, which stores registry data, in 500 m times 500 m grid squares, from ...
