Elections and water pollution cleanup in the Ganges River in India

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Yoo, Seung-Jick - 2026

We analyze the role of regular elections in ensuring water pollution cleanup in the Ganges river in a north Indian city. Our central result is that, in the absence of elections, politicians have no incentive to undertake pollution cleanup, leading to poor environmental outcomes. In contrast,...

Collusion in the polluted river problem

Alvarez-Mozos, Mikel; Brink, René van den; … - 2026

We study the effects of collusion in the polluted river problem. In this model, agents along a river network have to share the costs of cleaning the entire river. We define a collusion neutrality property which requires that, if all agents upstream of a given point agree to collude and act as...

Flow variability and data sharing in transboundary river treaties

Ansink, Erik; Gudmundsson, Jens; Houba, Harold - 2026

Treaties on transboundary river sharing often include provisions for sharing hydrologic data, yet such sharing is often limited where hydrologic variability is high. We study this puzzle in a model where treaty obligations must be conditioned on a noisy but verifiable public signal of inflows,...
