We study the political economy of the environment in autocratic, weak and strong democracies when individuals can … either mitigate the health consequences of domestic pollution privately or reduce pollution collectively through public … ordinary citizens. The recognition that the health consequences of pollution can be dealt with privately at a cost adds an …

This paper extends the classical exhaustible-resource/stock-pollution model with the irreversibility of pollution decay …. Within this framework, we answer the question how the potential irreversibility of pollution affects the extraction path. We … example. To sum up, for any pollution level, we can identify a critical resource stock such that there exist multiple optima i …

This paper derives a new effect of trade liberalization on the quality of the environment. We show that in the presence … relative importance of these effects, and hence the overall effect of trade liberalization on the environment, is affected by …

equilibrium of a small open economy where the environment is an input to production. Differences in the ability of individuals to … afford private mitigation of the adverse consequences of pollution is a central feature of the analysis. Private mitigation … leads to an endogenous, unequal distribution of the health-related consequences of pollution across income groups in a …

We build a two regions general equilibrium model with cross-border pollution and either international or only inter …-regional capital mobility. To control pollution each region uses public pollution abatement and issues either intra-regionally or inter … emission permits and we examine when and how cross-border pollution and the type of capital mobility affect these equilibrium …
