We study the optimal and equilibrium size of cities in a city system model with environmental pollution. Pollution is …, if pollution is local or per capita pollution increases with population, we find that equilibrium cities are too large …. When pollution is global and per capita pollution declines with city size, however, equilibrium cities may be too small …

The paper studies the effect of public transport policies on urban pollution. It uses a quantitative equilibrium model … with residential choice and mode choice. Pollution comes from commuting and residential energy use. The model parameters … transport coupled with increasing transit speed affects the equilibrium. In the baseline simulation, total pollution falls by 0 …

In this paper we study the impact of environmental pollution in an endogenous growth model that allows for structural … polluting output speeds up structural change, thus, reducing environmental pollution and spurring economic growth. This can give …

We seek to explain the emergence of spatial heterogeneity regarding development and pollution on the basis of … endogenous growth and convergence behavior, and pollution accumulation in each country with pollution diffusion between countries … capital and pollution rates of flow, spatial heterogeneity emerges even between two economies with identical fundamental …

is that the EKC is examined in the presence of pollution as a by product of consumption activities; also, pollution is a … environment, consumers do not consider directly pollution in the maximization problem and are assumed to choose between two … that substitution of dirty consumption with clean consumption alone is not sufficient to reduce environmental pollution …
