Transboundary pollution constitutes an important component of environmental degradation in many countries. The demand for institutional changes that reduce transboundary pollution grows with increasing levels of economic development and accumulation of environmental degradation. Single countries, however, can supply themselves with such institutions only in cooperation with other countries. This article analyzes the strategic game theoretic situation of countries concerned with transboundary pollution under alternative incidence of benefits and costs. The results suggest that a system of reciprocal obligations of countries can result in pollution agreements if the assurance problem of each signatory can be solved and the distribution of costs and benefits of such agreements are perceived as being fair.
