在本文中，我们提出了一个变分不等式框架的建模，定性分析和计算的市场均衡在污染许可证。本文开发的模型允许不同模式的竞争行为，包括寡头垄断行为，同时考虑到污染的成本加上在不同的受体点的污染许可证的价格。这些模式明确处理空间差异问题，并确保通过许可证的初始分配达到规定的环境质量标准。提出了一个算法，沿着的收敛结果，以计算利润最大化的企业的产品和排放量的数量，以及许可证和他们的价格的均衡分配。数值例子来说明的方法。这是第一次在环境经济学中使用这种方法。
In this paper, we present a variational inequality framework for the modeling, qualitative analysis, and computation of equilibria in markets in pollution permits. The models developed herein allow for different modes of competitive behavior, including oligopolistic behavior, while taking into account the cost of polluting plus the prices of the licenses to pollute at different receptor points. The models deal explicitly with spatial differentiation and also ensure that the imposed environmental quality standards are met through the initial allocation of licenses. An algorithm is proposed, along with convergence results, to compute the profit-maximized quantities of the firms' products and quantities of emissions, as well as the equilibrium allocation of licenses and their prices. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the approach. This is the first time that this methodology is utilized in environmental economics.
