Article Abstract:

They explore the potential inter-play between World Enviornmental Organization (WEO) and Non-governmental Organization (NGO) approaches when the WEO is subject to pressure from producers. They find that if WEO and NGO schemes are mutually exclusive then the existence of an NGO 'alternative' increases industry resistance to WEO proposals and this may reduce welfare.
