This paper develops a continuous time model of endogenous growth based on innovations in consumption goods. The model considers two types of goods, standard goods (whose production and consumption lead to pollution), and green goods (which have no effect on the environment). In addition to...

This paper describes a dynamic applied general equilibrium model, with perfect foresight, designed for clarifying the questions concerning taxation and the environment. The first section gives an overview of the model, focusing on the way of introducing explicitly the environmental dimension in...

The Kyoto Protocol, which came in force in February 2005, allows countries to resort to "supplementary activities" consisting, in particular, in the sequestration of carbon in agricultural soils. Considering the importance of its agricultural land and its weak possibilities of low-cost reduction...

The Kyoto Protocol, which came into force in February 2005, allows countries to resort to 'supplementary activities', consisting particularly in carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. Existing papers studying the optimal carbon sequestration recognize the importance of the temporality of...
