International Environmental Permit Trade and Debt: The Consequences of Country Sovereignty and Cross-Default Policies

Ernst Mohr

Review of International Economics, 1995, vol. 3, issue 1, 1-19

Abstract: We investigate the joint occurrence of international intertemporal trade and international environmental-permit trade, both of which are subject to country sovereignty. Assuming that side payments cannot be made to keep a debtor country from terminating international environmental cooperation, we analyze the impact of these two trade opportunties on a debtor country's incentive to continue environmental cooperation. We also show how, by way of a suitable strategic linkage between debt and permit trade, the public good of ensuring continued environmental cooperation can be provided by the supply side of private international loans.
