Management of Transnational Commons: Coordination, Publicness, and Treaty Formation
研究了在不确定他人意图时，如何通过协调最小规模群体来形成管理跨国公域的条约，分析了参与人数、收益模式、交易成本和公共供给技术对协调成功的影响，并应用于臭氧层消耗、全球变暖等案例。
This paper focuses on the formation of treaties to manage transnational commons when efforts must be coordinated among a minimal-sized group so as to make cooperation worthwhile. By focusing on mixed-strategy equilibria, we are concerned with instances where the intentions of others are uncertain. The number of required participants, the pattern of payoffs, transaction costs, and the underlying technology of public supply aggregation are key factors behind the achievement of coordination. We apply our analysis to explain the outcome of negotiations on stratospheric ozone depletion, global warming, acid rain, and tropical deforestation.
