Resumen de Sharing a polluted river through environmental taxes

María Gómez Rúa

• n agents located along a river generate residues that then require cleaning to return the river to its natural state, which entails some cost.We propose several rules to distribute the total pollutant-cleaning cost among all the agents.We provide axiomatic characterizations using properties based on water taxes. Moreover, we prove that one of the rules coincides with the weighted Shapley value of a game associated with the problem.
