This paper reports the results of laboratory test of the performance of a non-point source (NPS) water pollution …-point source pollution control program, and ties individual payoffs to collective performance of the farmers in the watershed …

In river systems, costly upstream pollution abatement creates downstream welfare gains. Absent adequate agreement on … how to share the gains, upstream regions lack incentives to reduce pollution levels. We develop a model that makes … explicit the impact of water quality on production benefits and suggest a solution for sharing the gains of optimal pollution …

We propose the river pollution claims problem to distribute a pollution budget among agents located along a river. A … location of pollution along the river is an important concern in addition to fairness. We characterize the class of externality … propose two novel axioms that are motivated by the river pollution context and use them to characterize two priority rules. …
