摘要

我们处理监管互联网基础设施使用的需要，以考虑环境外部性。我们对互联网服务提供商和一些内容提供商之间的交互进行了建模，其中前者选择网络规模，后者影响网络拥塞。然后，我们讨论了不同的监管框架(网络中立、自由放任、价格监管)如何影响经济效率和环境绩效。我们特别强调，诱导内容提供商提高效率的努力可能会改善或恶化最终的环境结果，并为一种情况或另一种情况的盛行提供一些条件。

The environmental impact of Internet regulation

We address the need to regulate Internet infrastructure usage to take into account environmental externalities. We model the interactions between an internet service provider and some content providers in settings where the former chooses the network size and the latter influence congestion on the network. We then discuss how different regulatory frameworks (Net Neutrality, Laissez-Faire, Price Regulation) impact both the economic efficiency and the environmental performance. In particular, we highlight that inducing more efficiency effort from the content providers may either improve or worsen the final environmental outcome, and provide some conditions for one case or the other to prevail.
