      abstract = {Which kind of reaction can a nation or group of nations  expect when leading by example in climate policy? This  literature survey describes possible positive reaction  mechanisms from different fields of economics, some of  which have scarcely been linked to climate economics  previously. One effect may be behavioral, a reaction  motivated by fairness, reciprocity or norms. Second, other  nations may interpret the leader's action as a signal on  his preference or the value of the objective and adjust  their own policy based on the new information. Third, the  leader may provide a service to other nations, which  decreases their costs and risks. The followers could  benefit by learning successful policies, adopting  technologies and obtaining information on the cost of  environmental policy. In addition to these economic  mechanisms, a leading group of nations might initiate a  political process of successive enlargements.},
