there is no perfectly clean technology that eventually solves the pollution problem once and for all. New technologies have … stings attached, i.e. each emits a specific stock pollutant. Damages are convex in individual pollution stocks but additive … across stocks, creating gains from diversification. The research and pollution policies are tightly linked in such a setting …

the new technology may turn out to generate a new pollution problem. R&D may therefore be optimally undertaken more than … the optimal pollution and R&D policies. The optimal R&D program is strictly sequential and has an endogenous stopping …

This paper studies Krugman's (1991) core-periphery model and extends it to include environmental pollution. We present … local environmental pollution, a third and more realistic type of equilibrium may occur in which most of the manufacturing …

In this paper, we investigate the external effects of the parent's decisions on the number of newly born children and the firm's decisions on the amount of polluting emissions that occur in industrial production. We employ an optimal control model which comprises three stock variables...

In the German automobile industry the vertical integration, as an indicator of value added, is on average low. Beyond the argument of relative high labour costs for manufacturing, several specific reasons for the level of vertical integration, linked to the flexibility of business administration...
