Transboundary pollution and household mobility: Are they equivalent?

Author

Listed:
  • Haavio, Markus

Abstract

Recent research has shown that perfect household mobility can serve a coordiantion mechanism inducing national policymakers to internalize international externalities caused by transboundary pollution. This paper develops a differential game to illustrate that the result is not necessarily robust when imperfect household mobility and explicit dynamics are introduced.
