Elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty energy inputs : a macroeconomic perspective ; conference paper
Papageorgiou, Chris; Saam, Marianne; Schulte, Patrick - 2014
Recently Acemolgu, Aghion, Bursztyn and Hemous (AER 2012) formulated a model in which a high macroeconomic elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty production represents a crucial condition for green growth. Until now it has never been systematically estimated. Using a novel panel of...

Using the Box-Cox transformation to approximate the shape of the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP : a note
Conte Grand, Mariana; D'Elía, Vanesa Valeria - 2013
With CAIT WRI data for those countries which submitted quantifiable CO2 emission caps under the Copenhagen Agreement, this note supports the existence of a long run relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP in 11 of the 26 countries in our sample over the period 1980-2008. However, the...

Climate Damages in Convergence-Consistent Growth Projections
Harding, Anthony; Moreno-Cruz, Juan; Quaas, Martin F.; … - 2023
Projections of climate change damages based on climate-econometric estimates suggest that, without mitigation, global warming could reduce average global incomes by over 20% towards the end of the century (Burke et al., 2015). This figure significantly surpasses climate damages in Integrated...

Better to grow or better to improve? : measuring environmental efficiency in OECD countries with a Stochastic Environmental Kuznets Frontier
Badunenko, Oleg; Galeotti, Marzio; Hunt, Lester C. - 2021
The standard approach to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) holds that as a country develops and GDP per capita grows environmental degradation initially increases but eventually it reaches a turning point where environmental degradation begins to decline. Environmental degradation takes many...

Nonparametric Estimates of the Clean and Dirty Energy Substitutability
Malikov, Emir - 2018
In growth theory, a greater-than-one elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty energy is among key necessary conditions for long-run green economic growth. Using parametric specifications, Papageorgiou et al. (2017) provide first estimates of this fundamentally important inter-energy...

Public policies and long-run growth in a model with environmental degradation
Bonatti, Luigi; Lorenzetti, Lorenza Alexandra - 2022
We study how public policies affects an economy where production emits pollutants and investment in productive assets raises the economy’s overall productivity. We explore two hypotheses about how the accumulation of pollutants affects human well-being. Under the first one, there is no limit...

Optimal Growth with Resource Exhaustibility and Pollution Externality
Jin, Wei - 2017
This paper investigates a problem of optimal growth with resource exhaustibility and pollution externality, based on a … resource exhaustibility and pollution externality are smaller than those with only resource exhaustibility, and taking account … of pollution externality resulting from resource extraction reduces the growth rate of consumption if man-made capital …

Dirty Dance : Tourism and Environment
Cevik, Serhan - 2022
Tourism was one of the fastest-growing sectors before the COVID-19 pandemic, accounting for about 10 percent of global GDP. But it has also created a number of challenges including environmental degradation, especially in small island countries where the carbon footprint of tourism constitute...
