We consider the effect of an increase in the risk from pollution. We show that in the case of a flow pollution, when … the number of players is sufficiently large, the result of Bramoulle and Treich, showing that a marginal increase of risk … in the neighborhood of a risk-free world is welfare-improving, holds even when we consider non-marginal increases in risk …

We introduce learning in a dynamic game of international pollution, with ecological uncertainty. We characterize and … ecological uncertainty but they gain information (learn) about it. We then compare our learning model with the benchmark model of … full information, where players know the distribution of ecological uncertainty. We find that uncertainty due to …

This paper examines how cooperation in an insurance game depends on risk preferences and the riskiness of income. It … of the discount factor above which perfect risk sharing is self-enforcing. When agents face no aggregate risk, there is … of idiosyncratic and aggregate risk. In the case of exponential (isoelastic) utility, cooperation depends positively on …

Differential games of common resources that are governed by linear accumulation constraints have several applications. Examples include political rent-seeking groups expropriating public infrastructure, oligopolies expropriating common resources, industries using speci c common infrastructure or...

We study the impact of uncertainty on the strategies and dynamics of symmetric non-cooperative games among players who … exploit a non-excludable resource that reproduces under uncertainty. We focus on a particular class of games that deliver a … this example, we study cases where increases in risk amplify or mitigate the tragedy of the commons …

We reformulate the Verhulst-Lotka-Volterra model of natural resource extraction under the alternative assumptions of Cournot behaviour and perfect competition, to revisit the tragedy of commons vs the possibility of sustainable harvesting. We stress the different impact of demand elasticity on...

of IEA formation when countries are risk neutral and another that explores the implications of uncertainty and risk …This paper analyses the formation of international environmental agreements (IEAs) under uncertainty, focusing on the … role of learning and risk aversion. It bridges two strands of literature: one focused on the role learning for the success …

We consider a simple two-period model with irreversible investment with strategic interactions. In this setup, we try to extend the concept of the quasi-option value (QOV) by Arrow and Fisher (1974), Henry (1974), Fisher and Hanemann (1987) and Hanemann (1989) to a game-theoretic situation. In...
