On the shiftable externalities. (how to treat victims of a depletable externality)_

Article Abstract:

Incentives for victims of a depletable externality are shown to differ in terms of feasibility in various taxation policies, although they all provide incentives which are theoretically correct. Oates and Baumol agree with Bird that in cases of shiftable externality, the victim's shifting behaviour should be taxed or his acceptance compensated. This policy could be nonoptimal, claim Shaw and Shaw. The cornerstone of a shiftable externality must be the Pareto optimum, with the best policy claimed to be that which compensates shiftable externality acceptance.

Mitigating tragedy of the commons through cooperation: an experimental evaluation

Article Abstract:

An oligopoly model, based on Mason and Polasky (1994), with a definite number of firms utilizing a common property resource, is presented to assess the effects of industry size on cost externalities and pricing behaviour. Results showed that an increase in industry size from two to four firms contributed to an increase in welfare gains and may also lead to lower pricing.
