Does Improved Environmental Policy Enhance Economic Growth? Endogenous Growth Theory Applied to Developing Countries

Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 1994

The environmental impacts on an economy is studied over time using endogenous growth theory. Externalities from the environment on production are central in the analysis, and we examine whether an optimal path realizes more rapid economic growth. The paper is mainly focusing on developing...
