We study environmental pollution in an economic geography framework with two cities, where pollution arises from … energy use. We find that city size has an ambiguous effect on pollution levels. We also analyse how pollution changes with …

We study the optimal and equilibrium size of cities in a city system model with environmental pollution. Pollution is …, if pollution is local or per capita pollution increases with population, we find that equilibrium cities are too large …. When pollution is global and per capita pollution declines with city size, however, equilibrium cities may be too small …

The paper studies the effect of public transport policies on urban pollution. It uses a quantitative equilibrium model … with residential choice and mode choice. Pollution comes from commuting and residential energy use. The model parameters … transport coupled with increasing transit speed affects the equilibrium. In the baseline simulation, total pollution falls by 0 …

This paper establishes a simple theoretical framework which comprises key forces that shape the structure and interrelation of cities to study the interdependencies between urban evolution and the environment. We focus on the potential of the unfettered market forces to economize on emissions. A...

, ‘pollution havens’ emerge in countries where environmental regulation is ‘over-lax.’ We examine the impact of pollution abatement … equilibrium model of trade and pollution nesting the pollution haven motive for trade with the factor endowment motive. We analyze …

This paper extends the classical exhaustible-resource/stock-pollution model with the irreversibility of pollution decay …. Within this framework, we answer the question how the potential irreversibility of pollution affects the extraction path. We … example. To sum up, for any pollution level, we can identify a critical resource stock such that there exist multiple optima i …

This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...
