"This book discusses the implementation of environmentally friendly models in contemporary economies, as well as the development and evolution of such strategies in recent years by focusing on theoretical frameworks, empirical research findings, and key methodologies"--Provided by publisher.

We derive the optimal contributions to global climate policy when countries differ with respect to income level and pollution intensity. Countries' growth rates are determined endogenously, and abatement efficiency is improved by technical progress. We show that country heterogeneity has a...

We study the role of the anticipation of climate policies on equity and economic growth in a numerical model of general equilibrium. The presence of the anticipation period allows the agents to adjust their choices before policy implementation. This period might change the equilibrium dynamics....
