Unilateral Action and Negotiations about Climate Policy.
WZB Discussion Paper, SP II 2011-109
Abstract
We analyze bargaining over international climate agreements in a setting with incomplete information about abatement costs. Unilateral commitment to high abatement reduces the gains from global cooperation. This reduces the probability of reaching efficient international environmental agreements.
