It is to be expected that rational peole defend themselves against pollution externalities, at the very least through spatial separation from the source. Bu even in the simplist models, defensive generates nonconvexities, multiple optima, and inconclusive policy guidance. This calls into...

The aim of this paper is to propose a method for coupling national energy models, to identify the dividends of international cooperation in atmospheric pollution abatement and efficient energy use. It indicates also how to solve the resulting large-scale multinational model. It stimulates...

We discuss three state-preference approaches to eliciting willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental goods, namely open-ended contingent valuation (OE-CVM), conjoint analysis (CA) and multi-attribute utility theory applied to decision panels of experts (EDP).

The Kyoto Protocol of December 1997 allows emission trade between countries that have committed themselves to an emission ceiling. This paper considers two schemes of emission trading: trade between goverments and trade between emision sources. The two schemes are analyzed and the strengths and...

This paper develops a dynamic model wherein production generates pollution that is viewed as a public bad by consumers. There are two types of consumers : those who are altuist a la Barro-Becker and leave bequests to their children and those who are pure life-cyclers. Both types of consumers...

This paper shows that the integration of corrective environmental taxation and optimal tax theory must begin by recognizing that environmental pollution problems are market failures that arise in the absence of enforceable property rights for the assimilative capacity of environmental waste...

Some kinds of corporate crime can be characterized as accidents, such as many types of environmental damage. These crimes are oflen expensive to deter because conviction costs are high and maximum fines are constrained by firms' ability to pay. The paper derives how enforcement costs can be...
