On green growth with sustainable capital
Basu, Parantap; Jamasb, Tooraj - 2020
We develop an endogenous growth model to address a long standing question whether sustainable green growth is feasible by re-allocating resource use between green (natural) and man-made (carbon intensive) capital. Although the model is general we relate it to the UKís green growth policy...

Deviations in kilometres travelled : the impact of different mobility futures on energy use and climate policy
Longden, Thomas - 2012
The importance of a focus on mobility and the kilometres travelled using light duty vehicles is reflected in the persistence of strong demand for personal mobility and emissions that tend to be linked with population and economic growth. Simulation results using the WITCH model show that changes...

Decentralization, social capital and regional convergence
Mauro, Luciano; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2013
By studying the interaction between social capital and decentralization, we show that political decentralization can be a source of divergence across heterogeneous regions. In particular, we claim that since the local endowments of social capital display their effect on the economy mainly...

Understanding economic growth in the Caribbean region : a conceptual and methodological study
Fuentes S. M., J. Rodrigo; Melgarejo, Karl; … - 2015
A renewed interest in explaining growth in the Caribbean countries is motivated by the somewhat slow but uneven performance in the past decade: per capita GDP gaps in Caribbean countries have widened in relation to the United States, whereas standard theories would predict convergence. This...

Remoteness and unbalanced growth : understanding divergence across Indian districts
Das, Samarjit; Ghate, Chetan; Robertson, Peter E. - 2013
The existing literature on Indian growth finds no evidence of convergence across states. This represents a puzzle given the relatively free flows of capital, labor and commodities across state borders. We use a new data set of district level income and socio-economic data to explore the...
