The relationship between per capita income and a number of pollution indicators has been found to display an inverted U …-shaped or downward-sloping pattern. Corruption may affect this relationship in two distinct ways: by raising pollution at given ….

The author analyzes the optimal investment in environmental protection in a model of an infinite series of non-overlapping hyperbolically discounting agents. He shows that without a commitment mechanism society is eventually stuck in a situation where all agents prefer further investment in the...

In this paper, we extend the well known result that hyperbolically discounting agents tend to postpone costs into the future. In a simple model we show that, without commitment to the ex ante optimal plan, no investment in environmental protection is undertaken over the whole time horizon, no...

This study explores the link between environmental degradation, economic growth and income inequality within the … framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) literature. To investigate this issue, we examine how inequality affects … carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their relationship with economic growth. We show that the results heavily depend on the …
