I examine whether trade can improve the impact of population growth on natural resources (NR) and welfare over time. Under autarky, population growth results in NR and welfare collapse over time, irrespective of the value of the returns to scale in the manufacturing sector, ϕ. Under trade, NR...

This study evaluates the competitiveness of renewable and dispatchable energy sources in Morocco by analyzing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for various power generation technologies. The objective is to identify the most and least competitive technologies by comparing their average...

The global energy landscape is undergoing a major transformation, upending decades of economic thinking built around resource scarcity. Unlike fossil fuels – continuously extracted from finite, geographically fixed deposits – renewable energy revolves around manufacturing technology that...

I examine whether trade can improve the impact of population growth on natural resources (NR) and welfare over time. Under autarky, population growth results in NR and welfare collapse over time for any value of the returns to scale in the manufacturing sector, 𝜙. Under trade, NR and welfare...

I examine the impact of population growth and endogenous migration on renewable natural resources (NR) and welfare in a general equilibrium model with two sectors - a commodity and a manufacturing sector, and with two inputs - labor and NR. Under population growth and no migration, a country's...

In this research, the intertemporal optimal management of subsidies offered by the environmental regulator and the dynamic conflict between two groups of economic agents involved in environmental quality are discussed. First the environmental model is examined in its optimal control management...

Many developing countries depend crucially on open-access renewable natural resources (NR). Trade is generally viewed as hurting the long-term health of NR in commodity-exporting countries. I examine whether trade might be beneficial in the case of population growth. Dynamic general equilibrium...

On the way to complying with the 2015 Paris agreements regarding climate change, there are notable differences between the positions of the countries. Even considering the same geographical area such as Europe, the existence of a supranational environmental policy, assumed by the 27 European...

Renewable resources are affected by both environmental variability, which makes the year-to-year stock growth uncertain, and the risk of irreversible events (e.g., a stock collapse). Little is known about how a renewable resource harvester would optimally respond to the combined effects of both...

The widespread consumer adoption of low-carbon technologies (LCTs) is a cornerstone of net zero targets worldwide, however LCTs may not be equally distributed across socioeconomic characteristics. Our paper contributes to the literature by exploring socioeconomic inequality in LCT adoption and...

To address global climate change, many countries are reducing CO2 emissions and replacing conventional energy resources with alternative ones. When developing national energy plans, it is essential to investigate public perspectives on the relationship between renewable and other energy...

Across many developing nations, such as Rwanda, the absence of electricity has significantly reduced the economic impact of rural communities. A common practice in some locations is to process farm products using locally fabricated machines, which diminishes the quality and quantity of...

Energy is an indubitable imperative for economic development, yet it also generates CO2 emissions, which are the leading cause of climate change and environmental deterioration. Renewable energy can stimulate economic growth and can help to achieve economic and environmental sustainability. This...

The consecutive rises in the consumption of energy to attain economic growth have accelerated the extraction of natural resources, which have substantiated investments in green technology to pivot sustained economic growth. Therefore, the roles of natural resources (NRs) and renewable energy...

Robert S. Pindyck has made significant contributions to a wide and diverse range of economic literatures; summarizing them is challenging. To keep the length of this review manageable, I confine my discussion to four areas in which his contributions have been particularly notable: (i) economic...
