Economic Growth and the Environment with Clean and Dirty Consumption

Orecchia, Carlo; Tessitore, Maria Elisabetta - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

is that the EKC is examined in the presence of pollution as a by product of consumption activities; also, pollution is a … stock variable rather than a flow and tends to accumulate over time. In order to highlight the role of consumption on the … different consumption types, characterized by a different impact on the environment (i.e. dirty and clean consumption). We find …

The Environmental Kuznets Curve from Multiple Perspectives

Jaeger, William K.; Kolpin, Van - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008

The analysis finds that in addition to U-shaped paths of environmental quality arising for growth in income per capita, growth in population can also produce socially efficient patterns that are U-shaped. Sufficient conditions for both types of paths are identified for a range of models and...

Biodiversity Conservation on Private Lands: Information Problems and Regulatory Choices

Lin, Tun; Goeschl, Timo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

This survey paper examines various information insufficiencies in biodiversity conservation and their impact of regulatory choices. We surveyed the literature in the field and identified four major types of informational insufficiencies in making efficient biodiversity conservation decisions: 1)...

Assessing the Effectiveness of Tradable Landuse Rights for Biodiversity Conservation: An Application to Canada's Boreal Mixedwood Forest

Weber, Marian - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

Ecological reserve networks are an important strategy for conserving biodiversity. One approach to selecting reserves is to use optimization algorithms that maximize an ecological objective function subject to a total reserve area constraint. Under this approach, economic factors such as...

Traditional Natural Resources Management Practices and Biodiversity Conservation in Ghana: A Review of Local Concepts and Issues on Change and Sustainability

Sarfo-Mensah, Paul; Oduro, W. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper reviews the importance of traditional natural resources management practices in Ghana. It highlights the roles of traditional beliefs, taboos and rituals in the management and conservation of key natural resources in the country. The paper is based on desk studies undertaken as part...

Going Forward by Looking Backwards on the Environmental Kuznets Curve: an Analysis of CFCs, CO2 and the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols

Longden, Thomas - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

The success of the Montreal Protocol in comparison to the stagnation seen in negotiations surrounding the Kyoto Protocol highlights the importance of a supportive industry group, pre-existing legislation and commitment by a lead nation, affordable and available substitutes, as well as acceptance...

Understanding Long-Term Energy Use and Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Usa

Tol, Richard S.J.; Pacala, Stephen W.; Socolow, Robert - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

We compile a database of energy uses, energy sources, and carbon dioxide emissions for the USA for the period 1850-2002. We use a model to extrapolate the missing observations on energy use by sector. Overall emission intensity rose between 1850 and 1917, and fell between 1917 and 2002. The...

A Bayesian Approach to the Estimation of Environmental Kuznets Curves for CO2 Emissions

Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio; Zoboli, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006

This paper investigates the EKC curves for CO2 emissions in a panel of 109 countries during the period 1959-2001. The length of the series makes the application of a heterogeneous estimator suitable from an econometric point of view. The results, based on the hierarchical Bayes estimator, show...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve: a Survey of the Literature

Borghesi, Simone - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999

In the last few years, several studies have found an inverted-U relationship between per capita income and environmental degradation. This relationship, known as the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), suggests that environmental degradation increases in the early stages of growth, but it...

Nonlinearity, Heterogeneity and Unobserved Effects in the CO2-income Relation for Advanced Countries

Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Musolesi, Antonio - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

We study long run carbon emissions-income relationships for advanced countries grouped in policy relevant groups: North America and Oceania, South Europe, North Europe. By relying on recent advances on Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) and adopting interaction models, we handle...
