We analyse agreements on river water allocation between riparian countries. Besides being efficient, water allocation … agreements need to be stable in order to be effective in increasing the efficiency of water use. In this paper, we assess the … stability of water allocation agreements, using a game theoretic model. We consider the effects of climate change and the choice …
