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.

Is population growth conducive to the sustainability of cooperation?
Stark, Oded; Jakubek, Marcin - 2011
This paper asks whether population growth is conducive to the sustainability of cooperation. A simple model is developed in which farmers who live around a circular lake engage in trade with their adjacent neighbors. The payoffs from this activity are governed by a prisoner's dilemma rule of...

van Dalen, Hendrik P. - 2007
How does global aging affect the convergence in global economic development? Both the developing and developed world will be characterized for the coming decades by aging populations. Changes in the age distribution of a population are an important determinant of economic performance as they...
