Corruption, Growth, and the Environment : A Cross-Country Analysis
Welsch, Heinz - 2003
The relationship between per capita income and a number of pollution indicators has been found to display an inverted U …-shaped or downward-sloping pattern. Corruption may affect this relationship in two distinct ways: by raising pollution at given …. Using cross section data for several indicators of pollution, the paper estimates the direct and the indirect effect of …

Optimal climate policy under the possibility of a catastrophe
Gjerde, Jon; Grepperud, Sverre; Kverndokk, Snorre - 1998
This paper concerns optimal emissions of greenhouse gases when catastrophic consequences are possible. A numerical model is presented which takes into account both continuous climate-feedback damages as well as the possibility of a catastrophic outcome. The uncertainty in the model concerns...

International trade, foreign investment, and the environment
Rauscher, Michael - 2001
This paper surveys the literature on the relationship between international trade in goods and the factors and the environment. Traditional approaches based on the HEckscher-Ohlin trade model and more recent models looking at non-competetive market structures are discussed. Moreover, the paper...

Environmental policy in an integrated world economy
Schulze, Günther G.; Ursprung, Heinrich W. - 1998
This paper critically assesses the literature on the relationship between economic integration and the environment. In particular, we investigate how trade liberalisation and capital market integration affect environmental policy and thus environmental quality. Conversely, we also study how...

Environmental policy under model uncertainty: a robust optimal control approach
Funke, Michael; Paetz, Michael - 2007
Model uncertainty is inherent in the design of optimal environmental policy. We investigate the consequences in a simple linear model, where the aim of the policymaker is to stabilize the carbon content of the atmosphere. We study how decision-makers' concerns about robustness alter policy using...

Fiscal decentralization and pollution: Institutions matter
Farzanegan, Mohammad Reza; Mennel, Tim - 2012
We estimate the impact of fiscal decentralization on different indicators of pollution for more than 80 countries from … 1970 to 2000. Our cross country estimates show that fiscal decentralization increases pollution. However, higher quality of …

Income inequality and the environmental Kuznets curve
Borghesi, Simone - 2000
This study explores the link between environmental degradation, economic growth and income inequality within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) literature. To investigate this issue, we examine how inequality affects carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their relationship with...
