We exploit the public good attributes of Ganges water pollution cleanup and theoretically analyze an aggregate economy … pollution cleanup in these two cities ought to be provided in a centralized or in a decentralized manner. We first determine the … compute the optimal amount of water pollution cleanup in the two cities in a decentralized regime in which spending on cleanup …

The Water Framework Directive requires the development and implementation of river basin management plans for improving … decision-support tools for identifying the principal sources of water pollution. Integrated Basin Models provide a transparent …

In river systems, costly upstream pollution abatement creates downstream welfare gains. Absent adequate agreement on … how to share the gains, upstream regions lack incentives to reduce pollution levels. We develop a model that makes … explicit the impact of water quality on production benefits and suggest a solution for sharing the gains of optimal pollution …
