Neoclassical growth, environment and technological change: the environmental Kuznets curve
Rubio, Santiago J.; García, J. R.; Hueso, J. L. - 2009 - Fourth version: May 2009
The paper investigates socially optimal patterns of economic growth and environmental quality in a neoclassical growth model with endogenous technological progress. In the model, the environmental quality affects positively not only to utility but also to production. However, cleaner...

Comovement and catch-up in productivity across sectors : evidence from the OECD
Cornwell, Christopher Mark; Wächter, Jens-Uwe - 1999
A method for analyzing productivity convergence based on frontier production functions is proposed. It is examined … whether departures from the frontier - country-level inefficiencies - exhibit long-run relationships and convergence. The … studies have found not to display convergence, shows signs of catch-up. …

Railroads and growth in Prussia : conference paper
Hornung, Erik - 2014
We study the effect of railroad access on urban population growth. Using GIS techniques, we match triennial population data for roughly 1,000 cities in nineteenth-century Prussia to georeferenced maps of the German railroad network. We find positive short- and long-term effects of having a...

Population growth and natural resource scarcity: long-run development under seemingly unfavourable conditions
Bretschger, Lucas - 2009
The paper develops a model with non-exponential population growth, nonrenewable natural resources, and endogenous knowledge creation to analyse substitution between primary inputs and an essential use of resources in the innovation sectors, which is generally considered as most unfavourable for...

Economic Growth and Carbon Emissions : The Road to ‘Hothouse Earth’ is Paved with Good Intentions
Storm, Servaas - 2018
All IPCC (2018) pathways to restrict future global warming to 1.5°C (and well below an already dangerous 2°C) involve radical cuts in global carbon emissions. Such de-carbonization, while being technically feasible, may impose a ‘limit' or ‘planetary boundary' to growth, depending on...
