论文摘要
COASE定理在环境经济学和法规理论中具有中心地位。但是,它用于解决现实世界中外部性问题的适用性仍然存在争议。在本文中,我们首先将这种开创性的贡献置于其历史背景下。然后,我们调查了测试了实验室中许多默认假设的重要性的实验文献。我们讨论了COASE定理在实际环境问题上的应用选择,并区分污染者或pollute虫支付的情况。尽管范围有限,但Coasian对外部性的讨价还价为难以以任何其他方式解决的问题提供了务实的解决方案。
The Coase Theorem has a central place in the theory of environmental economics and regulation. But its applicability for solving real-world externality problems remains debated. In this paper, we first place this seminal contribution in its historical context. We then survey the experimental literature that has tested the importance of the many, often tacit assumptions in the Coase Theorem in the laboratory. We discuss a selection of applications of the Coase Theorem to actual environmental problems, distinguishing between situations in which the polluter or the pollutee pays. While limited in scope, Coasian bargaining over externalities offers a pragmatic solution to problems that are difficult to solve in any other way.
