| Tiivistelmä: | When pollution crosses national borders, polluting countries do not experience the full benefits of pollution control. As a result, they may not exercise sufficient control from an international perspective. Concern about such free-riding has driven much analysis of global environmental issues, such as climate change and ozone depletion, and regional environmental issues, such as ocean degradation and acid rain. Under some circumstances, however, bargaining may result in explicit or implicit agreements that resolve the spillover problem. With efficient bargaining, pollution levels should not exceed their globally efficient level. The author assembles supplemental data using both traditional country-level sources and a Geographic Information System (GIS). |
