Belge 1er mai 1971) sur la protection des eaux de surface interdit aux entreprises de polluer les eaux de surface. Elle leur laisse le choix entre (i) épurer elles-mêmes leurs effluents, ou (ii) raccorder leurs canalisations d’effluents à une station (publique) d’épuration. En cas de raccordement, elle spécifie (art. 20, b et c, et surtout art. 21, § 3) que les entreprises participeront aux frais d’exploitation de la station, ainsi d’ailleurs qu’aux frais d’investissement (art. 9, § 2, 3 et 15, § 1, c).

A novel assumption concerning local information on abatement and damage costs endogenously determines step sizes at each stage. The sequence is shown to converge in finite time towards the optimum. It also specifies financial transfers between the parties so as to ensure their voluntary cooperation in the game theoretic sense of the core concept.

Important obstacles arise from asymmetry in costs and benefits, and instability may occur due to the fact that coalitions of countries may attempt to do better for themselves outside of any proposed agreement. In a static context, it has already been

A dynamic model is specified and estimated on the basis of panel data from the country’s 589 communes over a 15-year period. The results show a definite interaction among the communes in setting the rates of the two taxes. Further, their adjustments to changes in rates in other communes are slow: the gap between the actual rate and the rate desired because of the interactions is reduced annually by only 6% for the PRI and only 10% for the IPP.
