When a polluted river passes through several different regions, a challenging question is
how should the costs for cleaning the river be shared among the regions. Following Ni and …

We propose the river pollution claims problem to distribute a budget of emissions permits
among agents located along a river. A key distinction from the standard claims problem is …

We assess a very general economic model of transboundary river water allocation and show
how it has been used in the literature and how it can be applied to assess three key …

In a river claims problem, agents are ordered linearly, and they have both an initial water
endowment as well as a claim to the total water resource. We provide characterizations of …

Water scarcity has become a major constraint on economic development in many regions of
the world and sectoral water reallocation is now widely recognized as an essential step …

In this paper, we study international river pollution problems. We introduce a model in which
countries located along a river from upstream to downstream derive benefits from causing …

We take an axiomatic approach to the allocation of riparian water rights. We formalize ethical
or structural properties as axioms of allocation rules. We show that several combinations of …

We consider the problem of sharing water among agents located along a river. A vector of
entitlements specifies the amount of water each agent is entitled to. A social welfare function …

Many river sharing agreements in transboundary river basins are inherently unstable. Due to
stochastic river flow, agreements may be broken in case of drought. The objective of this …

When the cleaning up of a polluted transboundary river requires the cooperation of several
agents (countries, regions, firms or cities) located along it, a challenging issue is how should …
