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...

Transboundary externalities and reciprocal taxes : a differential game approach
Mason, Charles F. - 2017
I investigate the interaction between a country that imports a commodity whose production contributes to a stock pollution, such as electricity, from a country that produces that commodity. If the transboundary externality is priced improperly, the application of a feed-in tariff or border tax...

'The Voracity Effect' and Climate Change : The Impact of Clean Technologies
BENCHEKROUN, Hassan; RAY CHAUDHURI, Amrita - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2010
In the absence of a successful international cooperative agreement over the control of emissions there is a growing interest in the role that clean technologies may play to alleviate the climate change problem. Within a non-cooperative transboundary pollution game, we investigate, analytically...

Adaptation and the Allocation of Pollution Reduction Costs
Benchekroun, Hassan; Taherkhani, Farnaz - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Économie … - 2013
We consider a game of abatement of a transboundary pollutant. We use a time-consistent Shapley value allocation of the cost of pollution reduction, and study the sensitivity of such an allocation to countries' adaptation to pollution. A country's adaptation to pollution is captured by a change...

Transboundary pollution and clean technologies
Benchekroun, Hassan; Ray Chaudhuri, Amrita - In: Resource and Energy Economics 36 (2014) 2, pp. 601-619
Within a non-cooperative transboundary pollution game, we investigate the impact of the adoption of a cleaner technology (i.e., a decrease in the emission to output ratio). We show that countries may respond by increasing their emissions resulting in an increase in the stock of pollution that...

Adaptation Effectiveness and Free-Riding Incentives in International Environmental Agreements
Benchekroun, H.; Marrouch, W.; Ray Chaudhuri, A. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2011
While an international agreement over the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions proves to be elusive, there is a large and growing support for investment in developing more effective technologies to adapt to climate change. We show that an increase in effectiveness of adaptation will...

Cleaner Technologies and the Stability of International Environmental Agreements
Benchekroun, H.; Ray Chaudhuri, A. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2012
Abstract: This paper shows that, if countries are farsighted when deciding whether to defect from a coalition, then the implementation of cleaner technologies may jeopardize the chances of reaching an international environmental agreement. The grand coalition may be destabilized by the...
