The use of dynamic models to address the problem of environmental
degradation is central to environmental policy because decisions
taken now affect not only the current generation but have a
profound impact on the future. In this innovative book, Frank
Hettich uses dynamic modelling to study the interactions between
economic growth, environmental policy and tax reform. He
incorporates pollution and abatement technologies into different
endogenous growth models that take into account consumer
preferences and physical and human capital accumulation. He focuses
on the effects of environmental policy in closed and open economies
in the short, medium and long term. He sheds light on the following
questions: * what kind of environmental policy can reverse
tendencies towards increasing pollution? * will tighter
environmental policy inevitably reduce economic growth? * does
environmental taxation provide an efficient source of revenue for
governments? * how will higher preferences for a clean environment
affect optimal growth rates? * what are the effects of
international cooperation on growth, welfare and pollution? * does
sustainable environmental development necessarily preclude economic
growth? This book will interest all students and scholars of
environmental economics and particularly those interested in the
relationship between economic growth and environmental quality.
