Can equity enhance efficiency? Lessons from the Kyoto Protocol

Carraro, Carlo; Bosello, Francesco; Buchner, Barbara; … - 2001

This paper analyses the relationship between different equity rules and the incentives to sign and ratify a climate agreement. A widespread conjecture suggests that a more equitable ex-ante distribution of the burden of reducing emissions would provide the right incentives for more countries -...
