Abstract
In this article we treat the problem of nonpoint source pollution
as a problem of moral hazard in group. To solve this kind of problem we
consider a group performance based tax coupled to tradable
permits market. The tax is activated if the group fails to meet the
ambient standard. So the role of the tax is to provide an incitation
to ensure that the agents provide the abatement level necessary to
achieve the standard. The role of the tradable permits market is to
distribute effectively this abatement level through the price of the
permits which rises with the exchange of the permits.
