In this paper, we theoretically explore the implications of social norms in deterring pollution standard fraud along with economic incentives provided both by markets and regulatory activities. The model assumes that a large number of risk-averse individuals differ not only in their private cost...

A regulator who wishes to mitigate non-point source pollution and maintain the farmers’ revenue can choose among several policy tools. This paper compares the expected effects of several instruments on the pollution and profit levels, taking into account their acceptability : linear taxation...

Les auteurs considèrent un modèle de régulation des pollutions diffuses de l'eau à l'aide d'une taxation/subvention non linéaire de la production. Les agriculteurs sont hétérogènes selon deux dimensions, leur capacité à transformer les inputs en production finale et la surface agricole...

[fre] Nous étudions dans cette note les conséquences de l'existence de comportement d'honnêteté dans un jeu de conformité entre une agence environnementale et des firmes polluantes où la politique de contrôle comprend ou non une auto-déclaration des firmes en ce qui concerne les rejets...

We consider a model of regulation for nonpoint source water pollution through non-linear taxation/subsidization of agricultural production. Farmers are heterogenous along two dimensions, their ability to transform inputs into final production and the available area they possess. Asymmetric...

We consider a model of regulation for nonpoint source water pollution where farmersare heterogenous along two dimensions, their ability to transform inputs into finalproduction and the productive land they possess. Regulation takes place through nonlinear taxation/subsidization of agricultural...
