It analyzes the pattern of behavior of the size of stable coalitions, the stock of pollution, and the emission rate as a function of the length of the period of commitment. It is shown that the length of the period of commitment can have very significant effects on the equilibrium. We show numerically that at the initial date, as the length of commitment is increased, the potential gain from cooperation tends to diminish, increasing the disincentive to ratify the agreements. This suggests that considerable attention should be given to the determination of the length of such international agreements. 000132419 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000132419 6531_ $$aInternational environmental agreements 000132419 6531_ $$aglobal pollution 000132419 6531_ $$astock pollution 000132419 6531_ $$adynamc games 000132419 700__ $$aNkuiya, Bruno 000132419 8564_ $$9bbae083d-05f5-4367-83d7-f923d9a03de0$$s822080$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/132419/files/CREATE2012-7.pdf 000132419 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/132419 000132419 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:132419$$pGLOBAL_SET 000132419 912__ $$nSubmitted by Johanne Perron (johanne.perron@ecn.ulaval.ca) on 2012-08-29T15:19:16Z No. of bitstreams: 1 CREATE2012-7.pdf: 822080 bytes, checksum: a17d0cdc470140e22426167fd1c15742 (MD5) 000132419 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2012-08-29T15:19:19Z (GMT).
