Technological diffusion, spatial spillovers and regional convergence in Europe

Paci, Raffaele; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2001

convergence of GDP per worker observed across the European regions, in the absence of data on regional TFP. Second, the spatial … regional convergence in Europe. As for the first issue, our aim is to assess whether the convergence observed across European … regions is due to convergence in technology as well as to convergence in capital-labour ratios. We first develop a growth …

Money, Endogenous Fertility and Economic Growth

Petrucci, Alberto - 1999

This paper analyses the issue of money superneutrality through an intertemporal optimising model of capital accumulation and inflation with endogenous fertility, i.e. endogenous population growth. The model establishes an inverse relation between capital-labour ratio and population growth, which...

Is Inequality Harmful for the Environment in a Growing Economy?

Kempf, Hubert; Rossignol, Stéphane - 2005

In this paper we investigate the relationship between inequality and the environment in a growing economy from a political economy perspective. We consider an endogenous growth economy, where growth generates pollution and a deterioration of the environment. Public expenditures may either be...

Environmental Resources Depletion and Interplay Between Negative and Positive Externalities in a Growth Model

Antoci, Angelo - 2005

We analyse growth dynamics in an economy where the well-being of economic agents depends on three goods: leisure, a free access environmental good and a private good which can be produced by each agent through his own labour input. The private good can be consumed as a substitute for the...

Imperfect competition, labour market distortions, and the double dividend hypothesis: Theory and evidence from Italian data

Marsiliani, Laura; Renström, Thomas I. - 2000

The paper explores the hypothesis of a double dividend from environmental taxation i.e. whether shifting the burden of taxation away from labour toward the environment can boost employment and increase welfare. We present a general-equilibrium model where the economy is distorted by labour...

Inequality, environmental protection and growth

Marsiliani, Laura; Renström, T. I. - 2000

Why do Scandinavian countries perform better in terms of environmental protection than other European Union countries? In this paper, we explore the hypothesis that societies characterised by low-income inequality (such as the Nordic European countries) generate political-economic equilibria...

Environmental fiscal policy in an endogenous growth model with human capital

Oueslati, Walid - 2001

This paper analyses environmental fiscal policy within a two-sector endogenous growth model with elastic labour supply. Pollution is modelled as a side product of production. The framework allows us to analyse the consequences of an environmental tax on the economic dynamics. Both transitional...

Carbon leakage in a small open economy with capital mobility

Roson, Roberto - 2001

The carbon emissions abatement, undertaken by some countries, may induce other countries to increase their own emissions. This effect, known as "carbon leakage", may be due to rather different mechanisms. The simplest case is when outside countries do not change their environmental policies and...
