The polluter pays versus the pollutee pays principle under assymetric information
Article Abstract:
A study of the economics aspects of the liability for pollution damages showed that both the 'Polluter Pays' and the 'Pollutee Pays' principles both generate information asymettries that favors the party with property rights. This is due to the effect of private information, which can be used to increase subsidies for lowering pollution, as well as the voluntary arrangements which can affect the transfer of liability.
