Environmental Kuznets Curves A Study on the Economic Theory and Political Economy of Environmental Quality Improvements in the Course of Economic Growth
Description
Environmental Kuznets Curves - one of the most controversial issues of current environmental economics - suggest that economic growth may lead to environmental quality improvements. Why and under which circumstances this may be so, are the questions addressed in this book. The approach taken is formal, using techniques of static and dynamic optimisation. In addition, the main assumptions, arguments and conclusions are also presented in a non-formel way.
