摘要
This paper examines the welfare implication of adopting a Pigouvian taxation scheme or emission scheme. In a globalized economy with international trade and cross-border pollution, we adopting the latter is the strict dominant strategy of each country, and global welfare is all countries adopt the latter, because emission trading incentivizes the other country to vironmental regulation without concern for excessive shrinkage of domestic production and of cross-border pollution.
