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 …

We seek to explain the emergence of spatial heterogeneity regarding development and pollution on the basis of … endogenous growth and convergence behavior, and pollution accumulation in each country with pollution diffusion between countries … capital and pollution rates of flow, spatial heterogeneity emerges even between two economies with identical fundamental …

-off between the agglomeration and dispersion forces, in the form of pollution from stationary forces, environmental policy …
