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 …

This paper explores the empirical effects of decentralization on environmental quality by studying water pollution in … rivers around the world. It examines the level of pollution and variation in pollution across jurisdictions within a country …, for both a local and a regional pollutant. Federal countries exhibit greater interjurisdictional variation in pollution …
