Optimal Control of Upstream Pollution Under Asymmetric Information
Kerschbamer, Rudolf; Maderner, Nina - 2014
This paper derives optimal bribes to reduce upstream transfrontier emissions in the presence of asymmetric information on the polluter's concern for the environment. In a model in which the starting point for the negotiations on emission reduction is a Cournot-Nash equilibrium, it is shown that...

Instant efficient pollution abatement under non-linear taxation and asymmetric information : the differential tax revisited
Mensink, Paul - 2004
This paper analyzes incentives for polluting firms to exchange abatement cost information under the non-linear pollution tax scheme ( differential tax') introduced by Kim and Chang [J. Regul. Econom. 5, 1993, 193-197]. It shows that polluting firms have - under mild conditions - an incentive to...

We prove that the first-price auction is not affected by this kind of price-externalities … by the presence of such price-externalities. In any case, in comparison with the first-price auction, the second …

Trade, externalities, and the impact of asymmetric information on trade policy
Gori, Giuseppe Francesco; Lambertini, Luca - 2014
This paper investigates the relationship between trade liberalisation, consumers' environmental awareness and a negative environmental externality in consumption. We adopt an international Hotelling duopoly setup, where firms are located in two asymmetric countries. We find that, if the...
