本文实证研究了公平偏好对跨界污染控制国际环境协定(IEA)形成的重要性。虽然理论上已经表明,考虑加入IEA的国家之间存在公平偏好会增加联盟形成和稳定的机会,但对这种偏好的实证评估仅限于气候变化减缓和单一国家研究。我们考虑海洋塑料污染的情况,其中很大一部分是食品和饮料容器,这是一个日益受到政策关注的跨界污染控制问题,其性质导致对公平和分担减排成本的独特考虑。我们在英国和美国进行了一项协调选择实验,以评估海洋塑料IEA中减排成本分配的偏好。对合作的国家和减排成本的相对分配不同的实验。结果表明,系统厌恶有利和不利的不平等方面的减排成本,但也有利和不利的不平等厌恶的相对强度不同国家。在这两个国家,有证据表明,左倾选民普遍赞成更平等地国际分担减排成本。这些结果与温室气体减排情况的差异,以及对目前建立具有法律约束力的海洋塑料污染全球条约的影响进行了讨论。
This paper examines empirically the importance of equity preferences for the formation of international environmental agreements (IEA) for transboundary pollution control. Although it has been shown theoretically that the existence of equity preferences among countries considering an IEA increases the chances for formation and stability of a coalition, empirical assessments of such preferences have been limited to climate change mitigation and single‐country studies. We consider the case of marine plastic pollution, of which a large share consists of food and beverage containers, representing a transboundary pollution control problem of increasing policy concern, with properties that lead to distinct considerations for equity and the sharing of abatement costs. We employ a coordinated choice experiment in the United Kingdom and United States to assess preferences for abatement‐cost allocations in a marine plastics IEA. Pairs of cooperating countries and the relative allocation of abatement costs are varied experimentally. Results show systematic aversion to both advantageous and disadvantageous inequality with respect to abatement costs but also that the relative strength of advantageous and disadvantageous inequality aversion differs across countries. Across both countries, there is evidence that left‐leaning voters generally favor more equal international sharing of abatement costs. Differences of these results from the case of greenhouse gas emission reduction, and implications for current efforts to establish a legally binding global treaty on marine plastic pollution, are discussed.
