| Abstract: | This article analyses stability of coalitions for greenhouse gas abatement under different sharing rules applied to the gains from co-operation. A 12-region model is used to examine internal and external stability of coalitions. Stable coalitions are determined and compared under different surplus sharing rules; for example, grandfathering (sharing proportional to current emissions) and a number of equitable rules, i.e. sharing according to historical responsibilities for past emissions. Due to strong free-rider incentives the study finds only small stable coalitions for all sharing rules examined. |
