This article challenges the conventional result that a tighter environmental tax has no long-run effect on human capital accumulation in the presence of pollution arising from final output production. It demonstrates that the technology used in the abatement sector determines the existence and...

This note shows that the assumptions about the abatement technology modify the impact of the environmental taxation (both the size and the 'direction') on the long-run growth driven by human capital accumulation à la Lucas (1988), when the source of pollution is private consumption and lifetime...

In a two-period overlapping generations model, this paper demonstrates that the relationship between the environmental taxation and the economic activity (level- and growth-output) becomes inverted-U shaped, when the detrimental impact of pollution on health and the private decision of each...
