Deforestation and foreign transfers: a Stackelberg differential game approach

Dynamic Games in the Economics and Management of Pollution

“…Martín-Herrán et al [149] also address the problem of deforestation, using Stackelberg differential games, and introduce alternative assumptions for the information structure. The paper considers a feedback Stackelberg equilibrium and a case where the follower (South) uses a feedback strategy while the leader (North) designs the subsidy scheme as a linear, fixedcoefficient incentive in the state variable (the volume of forest).…”

Forest Conservation and CO2 Emissions: A Viable Approach

“…The third source of revenues for forest owners comes from eventual monetary transfers T. The determination of the latter has been the subject of a number of papers (see, e.g., [5,20,21,25,34,38]). Basically, the idea in this literature is to let the monetary transfers by industrialized countries (North) be contingent on deforestation rate or size of the tropical forest in the developing countries (South).…”

Conflict analysis in environmental management

“…Finally, Noakes et al (2005) use GMCR to analyze the strategic stability of the revised Pacific Salmon Treaty between Canada and the United States. Martin-Herran et al (2006) also use a Stackelberg game, where players play in a prescribed order, to analyze an environmental conflict. The conflict model that they develop examines the interaction between a nation that is funding a less developed nation on the condition that it improves its forestry practices.…”
