Simulating with RICE coalitionally stable burden sharing agreements for the climate change problem
Eyckmans, Johan; Tulkens, Henry - 1999
In this paper we test empirically with the Nordhaus and Yang (1996) RICE model the core property of the transfer scheme advocated by Germain, Toint and Tulkens (1997). This scheme is designed to sustain full co-operation in a voluntary international environmental agreement by making all...

Simulating coalitionally stable burden sharing agreements for the climate change problem
Eyckmans, Johan; Tulkens, Henry - 2001
In this paper we introduce the CLIMNEG World Simulation (CWS) model for simulating cooperative game theoretic aspects of global climate negotiations. The model is derived from the seminal RICE model by Nordhaus and Yang (1996). We first state the necessary conditions that determine optimal...
