Abstract
In the previous chapter, the repercussions of a country’s environmental policy on the environmental quality of another country through the international division of labor were studied. But countries may be interlinked more directly via environmental media, for instance through river systems or atmospheric media or they may use an international public good jointly. Then the issue arises how the economic decisions in one country affect environmental quality in the other country or the jointly-used public good. In this chapter1, transfrontier and global environmental issues are analyzed. The non-cooperative and cooperative solution of transfrontier pollution and global environmental media are discussed. Policy measures are reviewed.

Notes
Critical comments to this chapter by Ernst Mohr are appreciated. I owe figure 11–3 to him.

For the case of a global public good without an explicit diffusion function compare Hoel (1990). For an explicit transfrontier model compare Kuhl (1987).
Equation 11.9 may also be written as.
Compare Hoel (1990).
On the stability of investment contracts, compare Thomas and Worrall (1990), Mohr (1990a).
