The purpose of the present paper is to describe the role of uncertainty and technical change in an environmental … context. Which impact does ecological uncertainty have on physical and R&D investments' decisions? How are pollution … trajectories modified when uncertainty is taken into account?

This paper combines the Aiyagari/Huggett–type standard incomplete markets model with the Arrow/Romer approach to growth to analyze feedback effects between growth and inequality, both endogenously determined in equilibrium. We derive conditions on existence/ nonexistence of balanced growth...

When economic agents decide their optimal environmental behavior, they have to take into account non continuos evolutionary trends and irreversible changes characterising environmental phenomena. Given the still non perfect biophysical and economic knowledge, decisions have to be taken in an...
