The paper proposes an analysis of the relations between economic growth, population growth and natural ecosystem carrying capacity, applying an ecological economics approach. Starting from construction of a standard economic growth model, we introduce the effect of a natural renewable resource....

This paper provides estimates of output multipliers for spending in clean energy and biodiversity conservation, as well as for spending on non-ecofriendly energy and land use activities. Using a new international dataset, we find that every dollar spent on key carbon-neutral or carbon-sink...

Many studies have identified the negative effect of environmental regulation on capital accumulation and the positive effect on innovation, but this observed capital-innovation tradeoff due to environmental regulation lacks theoretical underpinning. We fill this gap by developing a unified...

The concept of a circular economy has instilled substantial hopes that it will help forging patterns of resource use compatible with Planetary Boundaries. Many countries are implementing circularity policies to reduce wastes and emissions, while also fostering economic growth. Research and...

The European Union is accelerating its transition to energy independence by 2030 in response to new geopolitical realities. This study aims to demonstrate the advantages of blockchain technology for the energy sector and how renewable sources themselves may lower costs and generate significant...

The paper examines the renewable energy con- sumption-trade openness-economic growth ne- xus for Bosnia and Herzegovina using annual time series data covering the period of 1994- 2015. The variables in the analysis were checked using Augmented Dickey Fuller test statistics. The results obtained...

La investigación evaluó dos proyectos forestales colombianos de Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpio para analizar los beneficios aportados al desarrollo sostenible local en cada caso. Se comparó el uso del suelo para ganadería extensiva, como uso más probable en ausencia de desarrollo de...

Complex dynamic systems can undergo changes in feedbacks between system components causing a rapid and persistent shift in system behavior (“regime shifts”), and potentially reduce welfare from declining provision of important ecosystem services. In this paper, we provide an analytical...

This paper introduces consumption externalities into an endogenous growth model of common capital accumulation and characterizes balanced growth equilibria. Contrary to the standard argument in previous studies, we show that the growth rate in a feedback Nash equilibrium can be higher than that...

Ohne weitere staatliche Maßnahmen können die Klimaschutzziele der Bundesregierung nicht erreicht werden. Eine Möglichkeit, Emissionen zu reduzieren, ist der Ausstieg aus der Braunkohleverbrennung. Die Braunkohlenwirtschaft zahlt allerdings doppelt so hohe Löhne im Vergleich zum...
