Optimal dynamic scale and structure of a multi-pollution economy

Baumgärtner, Stefan; Jöst, Frank; Winkler, Ralph - 2003

We analyze the optimal dynamic scale and structure of a two-sector-economy, where each sector produces one consumption good and one specific pollutant. Both pollutants accumulate at different rates to stocks that damage the natural environment, which acts as a dynamic driving force for the...
