Collective liability in non-point source pollution

Responsabilité collective de la pollution diffuse

Résumé

Non point source pollution is characterized by the fact that individual emissions are not observable at a reasonable cost. This constitutes a moral hazard problem. Furthermore, we explicitly consider adverse selection, a second type of asymmetric information that arises because of the difficulty to differentiate the polluters with respect to their type (marginal benefit of polluting). In this paper, we design a tradable permits market between non point sources of pollution. In order to involve all the polluters contributing to a measured ambient pollution, we consider a collective performance based mechanism. This sanction mechanism is activated if the collective fails to build itself. The threat remains active along a negotiation process in order to make it converge to the equilibrium solution. Indeed, the agents are induced to reveal their real type (polluter, non polluter) through a negotiation on their initial allocation of permits.
