Desperately Seeking (Environmental) Kuznets

Galeotti, Marzio; Lanza, Alessandro - 1999

The number of studies seeking to empirically characterize the reduced-form relationship between a country's economic growth and the quantity of various pollutants produced has recently increased significantly. In several cases researchers have found evidence in favor of an inverted-U...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve: A Survey of the Literature

Borghesi, Simone - 1999

In the last few years, several studies have found an inverted-U relationship between per capita income and environmental degradation. This relationship, known as the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), suggests that environmental degradation increases in the early stages of growth, but it...

On the Robustness of Robustness Checks of the Environmental Kuznets Curve

Galeotti, Marzio; Manera, Matteo; Lanza, Alessandro - 2006

Since its first inception in the debate on the relationship between environment and growth in 1992, the Environmental Kuznets Curve has been subject to continuous and intense scrutiny. The literature can be roughly divided in two historical phases. Initially, after the seminal contributions,...

Voluntary approaches, market structure and competition

Brau, Rinaldo; Carraro, Carlo - 1999

This paper surveys the recent literature devoted to the analysis of the interactions between the adoption of voluntary or negotiated agreements as a tool of environmental policy and market structure. The goal of this survey is twofold. On the one hand, we would like to identify the market...

The environmental regime in developing countries

Jha, Raghbendra; Whalley, John - 1999

This paper discusses the environmental externalities that are commonly found in the developing world (the environmental regime) along with the policy responses, if any, commonly used to deal with these. Included are the effects of industrial emissions, air and water quality impacts of untreated...

Environmental regulation and horizontal mergers in the eco-industry

Canton, Joan; David, Maia; Sinclair-Desgagné, Bernard - 2008

This paper considers the environmental policy and welfare implications of a merger between environment firms (i.e., firms managing environmental resources or supplying pollution abatement goods and services). The traditional analysis of mergers in Cournot oligopolies is extended in two ways....

Energy Biased Technical Change: A CGE Analysis

Otto, Vincent M.; Löschel, Andreas; Dellink, Rob - 2005

This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Spatial development

Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - 2010

We present a theory of spatial development. A continuum of locations in a geographic area choose each period how much to innovate (if at all) in manufacturing and services. Locations can trade subject to transport costs and technology diffuses spatially across locations. The result is an...

Natural Resources, Innovation, and Growth

Papyrakis, Elissaios; Gerlagh, Reyer - 2004

This paper investigates the connection between resource abundance and innovation, as a transmission mechanism that can …, consumers trade off leisure versus consumption, and firms trade off innovation efforts versus manufacturing. For this model, we … indirectly by inducing a smaller proportion of the labor force to engage in innovation. …
