We study pollution in the Ganges river caused by tanneries in the city of Kanpur in India. Two tanneries, A and B, are located on the same bank of the Ganges in Kanpur. Both produce leather and the production of leather requires the use of chemicals that are toxic to humans. Tannery A is located...

Regulations specify the maximum amount of waste that can be stored on site by a waste generating firm. When this regulatory threshold is reached, a polluting firm must move its on site waste to an off site recipient. In this setting, we analyze two questions in a stochastic framework from the...

We theoretically analyze the interaction between two representative and real tanneries, denoted by A and B, that are located on the same bank of the Ganges River in Kanpur, India. Tannery A is situated upstream from tannery B. Both tanneries produce leather and leather production by tannery A...

We study pollution cleanup in the Ganges in Varanasi, India. Voters elect politicians and elected politicians decide how much pollution to clean up. Between the two time periods, there is an election. Politicians are sincere or insincere. The marginal cost of public funds ζ measures how...

We study the duopolistic interaction between two monopolists located in two different countries who sell an imperfect substitute good in two markets. The traded good is transported between the two nations on ships using solid wood packing materials (SWPMs) and hence the presence of one or more...

In this note, we analyze a simple auction mechanism for locating noxious facilities such as hazardous waste dumps, prisons, and trash disposal plants. Specifically, we first delineate the details of our auction mechanism. Next, we solve for the symmetric equilibrium of this auction. Finally, we...
