The paper uses a continuous-time overlapping-generations model with endogenous growth and pollution accumulation over time to study the link between longevity and global warming. It is seen that increasing longevity accelerates climate change in a business-as-usual scenario without climate...

This paper models the impact on economic growth of HIV/AIDS when the epidemic is in a mature phase, in contrast with previous studies focused on periods of expansion, as in African countries. Simulations for Honduras, the epicenter of the epidemic in Central America, show that AIDS is not likely...

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....

We show that economies may exhibit a strong endogenous macroeconomic adaptation response to climate change. If climate change induces a structural change to the more productive sector, economies can benefit from climate change though productivities in both sectors are reduced. If climate change...

This paper argues the compositional shift from agricultural to industrial production - industrialization - is a central determinant of changes in environmental quality as economies develop. A simple two-sector model of neoclassical growth and the environment in a small open economy is developed...

The study investigates the influence of tourism and hospitality industry on economic growth and CO2 emissions. In the empirical analysis, unit root tests, cointegration test and vector error correction model regression using time series data of South Korea from the first quarter of 1970 to the...

The paper deals with the contribution of information and communications technology (ICT) to economic growth and environmental sustainability by examining the long-run equilibrium relationships between ICT, carbon emissions and economic growth. The paper employs cointegration techniques,...
