Do environmental treaties matter?

Author

  • William Gissy

Abstract

This paper examines a two-country model where each country produces a negative global externality. The results indicate that a locally oriented country has an incentive to negotiate a treaty with the other, however, the outcome is not a globally optimal one. Additionally, this paper demonstrates that when a locally oriented country operates with complete ignorance regarding the other country's intentions, a result approximating global optimum occurs.
