López, Ramón; Schiff, Maurice W. - 2010
Commodity price increases associated with the entry of China, India and other countries into the world economy has led to increased pressure on common-property renewable natural resources (NR). The problem is particularly worrisome for economies that obtain a large share of their income from the...

Low, high and super congestion of a renewable natural resource under autarky and trade
Schiff, Maurice W. - 2021
Numerous developing economies depend vitally on renewable natural-resource (NR)-based commodities. This study develops a general equilibrium model to examine the steady-state impact of changes in a small economy's NR congestion under open access and optimal regulation. This issue has often been...

Population growth and the tragedy of the commons : can trade prevent natural resource and welfare collapse?
Schiff, Maurice W. - 2024
Many developing countries depend crucially on open-access renewable natural resources (NR). Trade is generally viewed as hurting the long-term health of NR in commodity-exporting countries. I examine whether trade might be beneficial in the case of population growth. Dynamic general equilibrium...

Life expectancy and the environment
Mariani, Fabio; Pérez-Barahona, Agustín; Raffin, Natacha - 2009
We present an OLG model in which life expectancy and environmental quality dynamics are jointly determined. Agents may invest in environmental care, depending on how much they expect to live. In turn, environmental conditions affect life expectancy. As a result, our model produces a positive...

Migration, openness and the global preconditions of "smart development"
Tausch, Arno; Heshmati, Almas - 2011
In this article, we present a first empirical reflection on 'smart development', its measurement, possible 'drivers' and 'bottlenecks'. We first provide cross-national data on how much ecological footprint is used in the nations of the world system to 'deliver' a given amount of democracy,...

Green cities? : urbanization, trade and the environment
Borck, Rainald; Pflüger, Michael - 2015
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...

Why is pollution from US manufacturing declining? : the roles of trade, regulation, productivity, and preferences
Shapiro, Joseph S.; Walker, Reed - 2015
, environmental regulation, productivity, and consumer preferences have contributed to these reductions in pollution emissions. We … estimate the model's key parameters using administrative data on plant-level production and pollution decisions. We then … pollution changes. Finally, we compare the model-driven decomposition to a statistical decomposition. The model and data suggest …
