The model includes two policy instruments, a subsidy to final consumption and an emissions tax. It also considers two forms of endogenous...

The Perpetual Inventory Model (PIM) assumes that, in each period, an arbitrary constant fraction of technological-knowledge stock is lost. We give a theoretical background to the PIM by showing that the technological-knowledge accumulation follows a dynamic process with an endogenous...
