The environmental aspect of “Making People Rich as the Top Priority” in China : a Marxian perspective
Faber, Malte; Petersen, Thomas - 2012
Income inequality in China is severe; measured by the Gini-coefficient it amounted to 0.46 in 2011; wealth distribution is even worse with 0.61. These disparities led to a major shift in emphasis of politics in general and of the Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development by the...

Responsibility and joint production
Petersen, Thomas; Faber, Malte - 2004
In this paper, we discuss the relationship between responsibility and joint production. Responsibility mirrors our ability to act freely. We can act freely only if we can assume responsibility for our actions and their consequences; the limits of our responsibility are therefore also the limits...

Decomposing the impact of population growth on environmental deterioration
Gans, Oskar; Jöst, Frank - 2005
The IPAT-model developed by Ehrlich and Holdren is widespread in ecological economics in order to quantify the impact of population growth on environmental deterioration. We comment on this model and extensions proposed by several authors from a theoretical and empirical point of view.

Environmental and population externalities
Jöst, Frank; Quaas, Martin F. - 2006
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...

Innovation without magic bullets : stock pollution and R&D sequences
Goeschl, Timo; Perino, Grischa - 2006
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 …

On backstops and boomerangs : environmental R&D under technological uncertainty
Goeschl, Timo; Perino, Grischa - 2007
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 …
