Can the International Environmental Cooperation Be Bought?
2005
In this paper a two-stage game of international environmental agreement formation with asymmetric countries is solved. The equilibrium of the game allows to determine the number of countries interested in signing the agreement. Two cases are studied. In the first case, it is assumed that the only difference among countries is given by the abatement costs, and in the second case, by the environmental damages. In both cases, two different institutional settings, one without side payments and another with side payments, are considered. The results establish that the asymmetry assumption has no important effects on the scope of cooperation in comparison with the symmetric case if side payments …
Multiplicity of solutions to a nonlinear boundary value problem of concave–convex type
2015
Abstract Problem (P) { − Δ p u + | u | p − 2 u = | u | r − 1 u x ∈ Ω | ∇ u | p − 2 ∂ u ∂ ν = λ | u | s − 1 u x ∈ ∂ Ω , where Ω ⊂ R N is a bounded smooth domain, ν is the unit outward normal at ∂ Ω , Δ p is the p -Laplacian operator and λ > 0 is a parameter, was studied in Sabina de Lis (2011) and Sabina de Lis and Segura de Leon (in press). Among other features, it was shown there that when exponents lie in the regime 1 s p r , a minimal positive solution exists if 0 λ ≤ Λ , for a certain finite Λ , while no positive solutions exist in the complementary range λ > Λ . Furthermore, in the radially symmetric case a second positive solution exists for λ varying in the same full range ( 0 , Λ ) …
Can international environmental cooperation be bought?
2010
In this paper a two-stage game of international environmental agreement formation with asymmetric countries is analytically solved. The equilibrium of the game makes it possible to determine the size and composition of a stable agreement. Two cases are studied. In the first case, countries differ only in abatement costs, while in the second case, they differ in environmental damages. In both cases, two different institutional settings, one without transfers and another with transfers, are considered. The results establish that the asymmetry assumption has no important effects on the scope of cooperation in comparison with the symmetric case if transfers are not used or abatement costs repre…
