The focus of this article is on the impact of high-skilled emigration on fertility and human capital of a sending country within an overlapping generations model where parents choose to finance higher education to a certain number of their children. We assume that high- and low-skilled children...

Adopting clean technologies is a long term process which requires structural changes in production and consumption habits. In the present paper, we focus more on short term issues related to pollution reduction and analyze a pollution abatement game in a 2-country dynamic model. Transboundary...

Substitution policies are strategies sometimes chosen in Sub-Saharan Africa for curtailing the shortage of health professionals especially caused by the outflow of medical personnel. The aim of our contribution is to propose a way to assess the merits and drawbacks of substitution policies by...

The relationship between growth and pollution is studied through a vintage capital model, where new technologies are more environmentally friendly. We ¯nd that once the optimal scrapping age of technologies is reached, an economy may achieve two possible cases of sustainable development, one in...

In this paper we determine and analyze open loop and Markovian perfect equilibrium of a standard capital accumulation differential games, which is extended by a state depended cost function. As an application of the model we do consider knowledge accumulation or lobbying of firms with connected...

This paper analyzes the effects of skilled migration and remittances on fertility decisions at origin. We develop an overlapping generations model which accounts for endogenous fertility and education. Parents choose the number of children they want to raise and decide upon how many children...

This paper extends the standard neoclassical model by considering a technology sector through which an economy with limited human capital attempts to catch up with a given "locomotive" pushing exogenously technical progress. In periods of technological stagnation, economies close enough to the...
