The resource curse hypothesis relies on the resource-rich countries tendency to grow slower than resource-poor countries. Focusing on forest issues, this paper extends the resource curse hypothesis to environmental degradation: how do forest endowment and forest harvesting affect deforestation?...

This chapter is concerned with agricultural supply responses in developing countries. Its main emphasis is in explicitly considering the dynamics of the natural resource base (e.g., soil quality, water, etc.) of agriculture as well as the endogenous evolution of rural environmental institutions...

The purpose of this paper is to survey the contributions to economic growth theory. We focus on the basic models and literature that link resource economic and economic growth, in order to reveal the main differences on how the different aspects are incorporated into growth models. As economic...

Against the background of green development, green technology innovation is an important driving force for high-quality economic development. Countries are facing energy shortages, environmental deterioration and other issues that limit high-quality economic development by extending green...

As outlined, recurring concerns have surfaced since the 1700s that economic growth may prove to be unsustainable. These concerns have been expressed again and have intensified in recent decades but their foundation differs from that of Malthus. The rapid economic growth of China and India have...

This study extends the literature by examining the linear and nonlinear effects of natural resource income and the contribution of environmental demands to long-term economic growth in resource-reliant economies (RREs). Data was sourced from 45 RREs from 1970 to 2019 and processed using three...

The relationship between economic growth and the environment is, and will always remain, controversial. Some see the emergence of new pollution problems, the lack of success in dealing with global warming and the still rising population in the Third World as proof positive that humans are a...

This study examines the effect of environment tax and renewable energy transition on the green economic growth of 37 OECD countries from 1990 to 2021. The empirical results show that environmental tax has a non-linear impact on green economic growth. The nonlinearity is characterised by a...

We revisit the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) argument that an economy could pollute and develop at first and reduce pollution as income continues to grow. We propose a dynamic structural model to capture the interaction between economic growth, human capital accumulation, environmental...

Environmentally motivated aid can help developing countries to achieve economic growth while mitigating the impact on emission levels. We argue that the usual practice of giving aid conditionally is not effective, and we therefore study aid that is given unconditionally. Our framework is a...
