Environmental policy and the macroeconomy under shallow-lake dynamics

Heijdra, Ben J.; Heijnen, Pim - 2009

We study the environmental and economic effects of public abatement in the presence of multiple stable steady-state ecological equilibria. Under shallow-lake dynamics (SLD), the isocline for the stock of pollution features two stable branches, a good and a bad one. Assuming that the ecology is...

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 … institutions can limit the destructive environmental effects of decentralization. The empirical results confirm a strand of the …
