Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We obatain following two results on international agreements concerning environmental technology. Firstly, we assume that the benefit from technology adoption is uncertain and that the uncertainty will be eliminated by learning in a certain period in the future. By comparing the case where the learning occurs before signatory countries make decisions on technology adoption with the case where the learning occurs after they do, we reveal that the latter case leads to socially desirable outcomes. Secondly, We model pollution abatement games between a developed country and a developing country and examine how the equilibrium changes with international technological aid. We find that under certain condition, both countries abate more with the introduction of a positive support ratio than in the base case and the total payoff increases.
