Is the Discount Rate Relevant in Explaining the Environmental Kuznets Curve?

Di Vita, Giuseppe - 2003

In this paper we use Pindyck's model (2002) to show that the discount rate may play an important role in explaining for the income-pollution pattern observed in the real world. Low levels of income involve high values of discount rate, that are obstacles to the adoption of a pollution abatement...
