Cooperation in Transboundary Water Sharing with Issue Linkage: Game-Theoretical Case Study in the Volta Basin

摘要: AbstractThis paper investigates issue linkage of water and energy in transboundary sharing agreements evaluates how such linkages can enhance the scope cooperation between upstream downstream countries. In a case study on Burkina Faso Ghana, main riparians Volta Basin, both sustainability based linkage. framework static Stackelberg game with numerical analysis, it is found that interdependency countries lead to efficient effective solutions regarding sharing. phase, Ghana has opportunity increase its consumption for agriculture, which currently restricted, while benefits from discounted hydropower as compensation restricting consumption. case, mutually beneficial stable. However, may not be sustaina...
