REDD and International Organizations
Giannini, Valentina - 2014
Climate change mitigation can be achieved, according to many, by means of Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in the Tropics (REDD). Within the climate change policy debate we thus find discussions on how to reduce GHG emissions by designing appropriate REDD programmes...

Environmental Kuznets Curves for Carbon Emissions : A Critical Survey
Aslanidis, Nektarios - 2013
The empirical finding of an inverse U-shaped relationship between per capita income and pollution, the so-called Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), suggests that as countries experience economic growth, environmental deterioration decelerates and thus becomes less of an issue. Focusing on the...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve from Multiple Perspectives
Jaeger, William K.; Kolpin, Van - 2013
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...

Climate Policy and the Optimal Extraction of High- and Low-Carbon Fossil Fuels
Van der Werf, Edwin; Smulders, Sjak - 2013
We study how restricting CO2 emissions affects resource prices and depletion over time. We use a Hotelling-style model with two non-renewable fossil fuels that differ in their carbon content (e.g. coal and natural gas) and in addition are imperfect substitutes in final good production. We show...

Sustainability and Optimality in Economic Development : Theoretical Insights and Policy Prospects
Farzin, Y. Hossein - 2007
This paper takes sustainability to be a matter of intergenerational welfare equality and examines whether an optimal development path can also be sustainable. It argues that the general "zero-net-aggregate-investment" condition for an optimal development path to be sustainable in the sense of...
