Abstract
We posit an oligopolistic competition scenario in which two companies compete for an identical product, while consumers have different preferences for them. One product uses a technology that generates pollution, while the other uses cleaner technology. Consumers show a degree of environmental sensitivity in favor of organic products over pollutants. The host country's government sets an optimal emissions limit for the polluting company. This emission limit is positive when the discomfort caused by pollution and/or the level of environmental awareness is high enough. However, the optimal emission limit is zero if the discomfort caused by pollution and/or the level of environmental awareness is low enough. The intensity of environmental awareness has a negative effect on the optimal limit of permitted emissions.
