Abstract
This article investigates optimal environmental regulations on vertical oligopolies where
the upstream eco-industry produces abatement goods reducing pollutants and the
downstream polluting industry produces consumption goods emitting pollutants. Under
Cournot competition with blockaded entry, we analyze the environmental tax for
externality and abatement subsidy for abatement activity. We also incorporate free entry case
to examine the equilibrium number of firms in each industry, and then propose an entry fee
for downstream polluting industry to lessen excessive entry and an entry subsidy for upstream
eco-industry to increase insufficient entry when market concentration in eco-industry is
significant. Finally, we show that under the two-part system with entry fee/subsidy and
environmental tax/subsidy, the regulator can achieve the first-best market performance and
fiscal equivalence with the Pigouvian rule.
