Cooperation in international environmental negotiations due to a preference for equity
Lange, Andreas; Vogt, Carsten - 2001

Heterogeneous international agreements: If per capita emission levels matter
Lange, Andreas - 2002
This paper studies the incentives for international cooperation if (some) countries prefer a more equitable distribution of per capita emission levels. The impact of such an equity preference is analyzed first for a bilateral, and then for a multilateral environmental problem. We show that -...

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...

Fair share and social efficiency: A mechanism in which peers decide on the payoff division
Dong, Lu; Falvey, Rod; Luckraz, Shravan - 2016
We propose and experimentally test a mechanism for a class of principal-agent problems in which agents can observe each others' efforts. In this mechanism each player costlessly assigns a share of the pie to each of the other players, after observing their contributions, and the final...

Provision of a public good with altruistic overlapping generations and many tribes
Karp, Larry S. - 2012
Intergenerational altruism and contemporaneous cooperation are both important to the provision of long-lived public goods. Equilibrium climate protection may depend more sensitively on either of these considerations, depending on the type of policy rule one examines. This conclusion is based on...

Should we sustain? And if so, sustain what? Consumption or the quality of life?
Llavador, Humberto; Roemer, John E.; Silvestre, Joaquim - 2012
Sustainability has been largely replaced by discounted utilitarianism in contemporary climate-change economics. Our approach rejuvenates sustainability by expanding the conception of the quality of life, along the lines of the UN Human Development Reports, to include not only consumption, but...

Accounting for Uncertainty Affecting Technical Change in an Economic-Climate Model
Bosetti, Valentina; Drouet, Laurent - 2005
The key role of technological change in the decline of energy and carbon intensities of aggregate economic activities is widely recognized. This has focused attention on the issue of developing endogenous models for the evolution of technological change. With a few exceptions this is done using...
