We study how public policies affects an economy where production emits pollutants and investment in productive assets raises the economy’s overall productivity. We explore two hypotheses about how the accumulation of pollutants affects human well-being. Under the first one, there is no limit...

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 …

In this paper we test empirically with the Nordhaus and Yang (1996) RICE model the core property of the transfer scheme adv ocated by Germain, Toint and Tulkens (1997). This scheme is designed to sustain full cooperation in a voluntary international environmental agreement by making all...

We study environmental policy in an economy-ecology model featuring multiple deterministic stable steady-state ecological equilibria. The economy-ecology does not settle in either of the deterministic steady states as the environmental system is hit by random shocks. Individual live for two...
