The downstream country offers a non-water “leverage” good in exchange for water access and makes a take-it-or-leave-it offer to the upstream country. The downstream country can further invest in water provision before the negotiations. We compare three types of outcomes: the first-best outcomes where an “ex-ante social planner” choses both the water investment and the water and leverage goods exchanged in the negotiations; the outcome when an “ex-post social planner” only enters at the negotiation stage; and the outcome of bilateral negotiations. We argue that all three cases can be empirically realistic; show that the outcome with the ex-post social planner can distort the downstream country’s investment incentive; and that the bilateral negotiation outcome can lead to water investment either below or above the efficient/ex-ante planner’s preferred choice. 000235650 546__ $$aEnglish 000235650 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000235650 650__ $$aPolitical Economy 000235650 650__ $$aResource/Energy Economics and Policy 000235650 650__ $$aRisk and Uncertainty 000235650 6531_ $$aTrans-boundary water sharing 000235650 6531_ $$aissue-linkage 000235650 6531_ $$anegotiation. 000235650 700__ $$aEskander, Shaikh 000235650 700__ $$aJanus, Thorsten 000235650 700__ $$aBarbier, Edward 000235650 773__ $$d2016 000235650 8564_ $$95f591e0f-c3e8-49a0-a75e-4257ab2b5736$$s499224$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/235650/files/Linking%20the%20Unlinked.pdf 000235650 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/235650 000235650 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:235650$$pGLOBAL_SET 000235650 912__ $$nSubmitted by Shaikh Eskander (smsu_isku@hotmail.com) on 2016-05-24T16:36:06Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Linking the Unlinked.pdf: 499224 bytes, checksum: a7ee0f31d0354b4cb05dd72d3aebbc76 (MD5) 000235650 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2016-05-24T16:36:06Z (GMT).
