Decomposing the impact of population growth on environmental deterioration: some critical comments on a widespread method in ecological economics
Gans, Oskar; Jöst, Frank - 2005
The IPAT-model developed by Ehrlich and Holdren is widespread in ecological economics in order to quantify the impact of population growth on environmental deterioration. We comment on this model and extensions proposed by several authors from a theoretical and empirical point of view.

Entrepreneurial innovation and sustained long-run growth without weak or strong scale effects
Grossmann, Volker - 2008
R&D-based growth theory suggests that a larger population size raises either the long-run rate of economic growth (strong scale effect) or the level of per capita income (weak scale effect), with far-reaching policy implications. However, for modern times there is little empirical support for...

The impact of urbanization on CO2 emissions: evidence from developing countries
Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2008
This paper analyzes the impact of urbanization on CO2 emissions in developing countries, taking into account the presence of heterogeneity in the sample of countries and testing for the stability of the estimated elasticities over time. The sample covers the period from 1975 through 2003 for...

Subsistence: A Bio-economic Foundation of the Malthusian Equilibrium
Strulik, Holger; Dalgaard, Carl-Johan - 2007
This paper develops a bio-economic Malthusian growth model. By integrating recent research on allometric scaling, energy consumption, and ontogenetic growth we provide a model where subsistence consumption is endogenously linked to body mass and fertility. The theory admits a two-dimensional...

The long-run effects of mortality decline in developing countries
Lehmijoki, Ulla; Palokangas, Tapio - 2011
Since World War II, mortality has declined in the developing world. This paper examines the effects of this mortality decline on demographic and economic growth by a family-optimization model, in which fertility is endogenous and wealth yields utility through its status. The decline in mortality...

A general framework for estimating CO2 emissions
Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2009
This paper proposes a new analytical framework with which to analyze the determinants of global CO2 emissions. It contributes to the existing literature by examining the determinants of CO2 emissions using a flexible functional form (transcendental logarithmic model), taking into account the...
