Neo-Austrian modelling is still a relatively unfamiliar technique to many ecological economists, although there is now a significant body of published work on the method and its applications. In this paper we aim to introduce the method, offering a rather brief sketch of its history, indicating...

This paper studies Krugman's (1991) core-periphery model and extends it to include environmental pollution. We present the first analytic proof that only an even spreading of the firms over both of the two regions or a complete agglomeration of all manufacturing firms in one region are possible...

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit den ökonomischen Aspekten von REDD, wobei sie sich hauptsächlich auf die Kosten und Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten der Emissionsreduktionen im Forstsektor konzentriert. Zudem wird die grundlegende Idee eines zukünftigen REDD-Mechanismus vorgestellt und...

The carbon Kuznetz curve (CKC) hypothesis assumes that carbon dioxide emissions initially increase in tandem with output but start decreasing at higher levels of output. This paper considers the internal validity of estimating the CKC in an integrated framework of carbon dioxide emissions,...
