Transboundary capital and pollution flows and the emergence of regional inequalities

Levin, Simon Asher; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2015

We seek to explain the emergence of spatial heterogeneity regarding development and pollution on the basis of interactions associated with the movement of capital and polluting activities from one economy to another. We use a simple dynamical model describing capital accumulation along the lines...
