Strategic stability and international stock pollution : the linear case This article deals with cooperation issues in transfrentier pollution problems in a dynamic framework implied by the pollutant's accumulation. Assuming that countries do reevaluate at each period the advantages to cooperate or not given the current stock of pollutant, and under the hypothesis that the countries' environmental damage functions are linear, we define at each moment of time a scheme for abatement costs through financial transfers between countries, which makes cooperation better for each of them than non-cooperation. This sharing scheme is also « strategically stable », in the sense that it discourages coalitions.
