Anticipated international environmental agreements

Açıkgöz, Ömer T.; Benchekroun, Hassan - 2016

Consider a situation in which countries anticipate an international environmental agreement (IEA) to be in effect sometime in the future. What is the impact of the future IEA on current emissions after its announcement? We show that the answer to this question is ambiguous. We examine four types...

This paper studies the formation of international climate coalitions by heterogeneous countries. Countries rationally predict the consequences of their membership decisions in climate negotiations. We offer an approach to characterise the equilibrium number of coalitions and their number of...

Information design in coalition formation games

Vosooghi, Sareh - 2017

I examine a setting, where an information sender conducts research into a payoff-relevant state variable, and releases information to agents, who consider joining a coalition. The agents' actions can cause harm by contributing to a public bad. The sender, who has commitment power, by designing...

Reciprocal climate negotiators : balancing anger against even more anger

Nyborg, Karine - 2014 - This version August 2014

I explore possible impacts of reciprocal preferences on participation in international environmental agreements. Reciprocal countries condition their willingness to abate on others' abatement. No participation is always stable. A full or majority coalition can be stable, provided that...

Reciprocal climate negotiators

Nyborg, Karine - 2015

International climate negotiations have been troubled by mutual mistrust. At the same time, a hope seems to prevail that once enough countries moved forward, others would follow suit. If the abatement game faced by climate negotiators is a Prisoners' Dilemma, and countries are narrowly...

Members, joiners, free-riders, supporters

Ansink, Erik; Withagen, Cees - 2016

We augment the standard cartel formation game from non-cooperative coalition theory, often applied in the context of international environmental agreements on climate change, with the possibility that singletons support coalition formation without becoming coalition members themselves. Rather,...

Local and global pollution and international environmental agreements in a network approach

Günther, Michael; Hellmann, Tim - 2015

Increasing concerns about climate change have given rise to the formation of International Environmental Agreements (IEAs) as a possible solution to limit global pollution effects. In this paper, we study the stability of IEAs in a repeated game framework where we restrict to strategies which...

Self-enforcing international environmental agreements : adaptation and complementarity

Rubio, Santiago J. - 2018

This paper studies the impact of adaptation on the stability of an international emission agreement. To address this … levels of emissions. Finally, in the third stage, each country decides on its level of adaptation non co-operatively. We … that emissions are strategic complements in the second stage of the game. However, for the first model adaptation reduces …
