Abstract:

In the search for leadership, flexibility and strong intangible capital for environmental agreement and recognizing bounded rationality, we investigate binding environmental agreement among the G-20 countries, which could establish principles or safe minimum standards. Firstly, we seek to measure G-20 intangible capital, and find that the government balance and inflation are the most significant factors. Then, we discuss binding environmental agreement in the literature and the importance of the behavioral approach when dealing with such agreement. In the last section, we use Evolutionary Game Theory to observe the main factors relating to a G-20 environmental agreement in which the evolutionary equilibrium has only environmental friendly firms. We argue for the improvement of national governance, the GATT model and the least human-restrictive principle.
