Transboundary pollution, R&D spillovers and international trade
Abstract We consider a non-cooperative and symmetric three-stage game played by two regulator-firm hierarchies. We show that R&D spillovers and the competition of firms on the common market help non-cooperating countries to better internalize transboundary pollution. Surprisingly, international competition increases the per-unit emission-tax and decreases the per-unit R&D subsidy. It also leads to a higher investment in R&D and production, and to a lower emission ratio. In most cases, pollution in common market is lower than in autarky, implying a greater social welfare, and the contrary occurs in some other cases.
