Hot Stuff: Would Climate Change Alter Transboundary Water Sharing Treaties?
Ambec, Stefan; Dinar, Ariel - Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) - 2010
By signing an international river sharing agreement (RSA), countries voluntary commit to release water in exchange for a compensation. We examine the robustness of such commitments to reduced water flows. We focus on RSAs that satisfy core lower bounds and fairness upper bounds. We characterize...
