The purpose of this paper is to study the optimal pricing policy for an economy with negative externalities and externality-mitigation (or transformation) activities, given that: 1) an externality-mitigation activity has nondepletable external benefits, and 2) people acting to mitigate (or transform) the negative externalities they bore consider the reactive action from their neighbors, and everybody involved in the game conjectures each other's action. The study investigates three potential pricing schemes corresponding to the Pareto optimum: 1) a tax or a subsidy on the mitigating activity, 2) a tax or a subsidy on the net output of the mitigating activity, and 3) a tax or a subsidy on the final bearer of the externality. The conclusion is that the choice of an optimal policy instrument - be it a tax or a subsidy on the mitigating activity, the net output of the mitigating activity, or the externality victims - depends on the direction and magnitude of the conjectural variations and the selection of the tax base. It is shown that whether a tax is required on or a subsidy is paid to the parties affected by a negative externality doesn’t depend on whether the externality is depletable or not, or whether it’s shiftable or not. Rather it depends on whether the shifting behavior has external costs or benefits.
