RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLEANING POLLUTION:: An Interregional Programming Model

Abstract

Significant amount of pollution can be generated in one region but its output is used directly and indirectly for providing final goods in other areas. Pollution of an upstream area may be carried downstream and air pollution generated in one area may be diffused to other areas. An integrated interregional input‐output and linear programming model has been presented through which responsibility for cleaning pollution can be established and optimum relocation of industries can be achieved in the framework of technological and economic constraints.
