Matching Commitments: A New Approach to Regulation of the Commons

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

No country can capture the full benefit of its efforts to provide global public goods such as protecting the climate or providing new medicines or technologies to a growing world. As a result, there is persistent under-investment in combating climate change and promoting innovation. This Article proposes a new solution to this well-studied social dilemma: matching commitments. It explains how matching commitments could be used in countries that adopt climate regulation to encourage action by other countries around the world. And it shows why this solution is better than other commonly-proposed solutions for encouraging action in recalcitrant countries.
