Abstract

In this paper which deals with global environmental problems, we use an evo-lutionary approach in order to determine the conditions under which O.E.C.D countries are led to reduce unilaterally their pollution emissions. Thus we remark that a country's choice of a unilateral reduction depends on the information at its disposal concerning the other nations' characteristics. Where such information is complete, the commitment emerges as the result of a strategical calculation. The conclusion seems less obvious in a case of asymmetrical information where eve-rything leads us to believe that the commitment would be bound to fail.
