International environmental agreements provide a basis for
countries to address ecological problems on a global scale.
However, countries are heterogeneous with respect to their economic
structures and to the problems relating to the environment that
they encounter. Therefore, economic externalities and global
environmental conflicts are common and can cause problems in
implementation and compliance with international agreements.
Economics of International Environmental Agreements illuminates
those issues and factors that might cause some countries or firms
to take different positions on common problems. This book explores
why international environmental agreements deal with some problems
successfully but fail with others. The chapters address issues that
are global in nature, such as: transboundary pollution, provision
of global public goods, individual preferences of inequality-
aversion, global cooperation, self-enforcing international
environmental agreements, emission standards, abatement costs,
environmental quota, technology agreement and adoption and
international institutions. They examine the necessary conditions
for the improved performance of international environmental
agreements, how cooperation among countries can be improved and the
incentives that can be created for voluntary compliance with
international environmental agreements. This text is of great
importance to academics, students and policy makers who are
interested in environmental economics, policy and politics, as well
as environmental law.
