The Annals of Regional Science, 1989, vol. 23, issue 1, 3-18

Abstract: This paper examines optimal interventions in the presence of externality-induced uncertainty. A regional model of three activities involving polluting, nonpolluting and pollution-abating industries is developed, and a Taylor series technique is utilized to represent a stochastic regional utility function. Optimal intervention policies in the forms of output or input taxes and subsidies are then deduced and analyzed.
