在本文中，我们扩展了私人提供公共物品的标准模型，包括消费外部性的特点，在这种情况下，经济活动污染环境。我们考虑一个案例，其中有一个工业国家有能力对环境进行投资，而一个发展中国家却没有能力。然后，我们表明，国际收入的双向转移可以改善全球环境质量以及每个国家的福利。我们还表明，这些结果对官方发展援助或可交易排放许可证的分配等政策具有重要影响。
In this paper, we extend the standard model of private provision of public goods by including consumption externalities to characterize a situation in which economic activities pollute the environment. We consider a case in which there are an industrial country which can afford to invest in the environment and a developing country which cannot. Then, we show that international income transfers in both directions can improve the global environmental quality as well as the welfare of each country. We also show that the results have important implications for policies such as official development assistance or the assignment of tradable emission permits.
