International Climate Games : From Caps to Cooperation

Cramton, Peter; Stoft, Steven - 2010

Greenhouse gas abatement is a public good, so climate policy is a public-goods game and suffers from the free-rider incentives that make the outcome of such games notoriously uncooperative. Adopting an international agreement can change the nature of the game, reducing or exacerbating the...
