We develop a dynamic regulation game for a stock externality under asymmetric information and future market uncertainty …. Within this framework, regulation is characterized as the implementation of a welfare-maximization program conditional on …-consistent policy rules that implement the stochastic first best as long as a future market exists. We apply our theory to carbon …
