Why has Europe Become Environmentally Cleaner? Decomposing the Roles of Fiscal, Trade and Environmental Policies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the role of fiscal policy, trade and energy taxes on environmental quality in Europe using disaggregated data at the monitoring station level for the 12 richest European countries spanning the period from 1995 to 2008.

Incorporating strategic petroleum reserve and welfare losses: A way forward for the policy development of crude oil resources in South Asia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the correlation between strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) plus welfare net losses for South Asian economies, and found that a 30 percent shortfall in crude distribution is responsible for the maximum vacillated composition of crude costing, which rapidly expands the forecasted welfare losses via forty percent cuts in the GDP, that is about seven hundred dollars in South East Asia likewise nine hundred dollars the crude most consuming nations.

Tourism development, environmental pollution and economic growth: A theoretical analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a two-sector dynamic model of a less-developed economy with an imported traded good sector and with a non-traded tourism service sector serving international tourists.

Economic development and environmental quality: A reassessment in light of nature's self-regeneration capacity

TL;DR: This paper studied the relationship between economic development and consumption of natural resources using a vintage capital model and found that during the transition dynamics, the shape of the pollution output relationship will depend on the parameter determining nature's self-regeneration capacity.

Government spending in a simple model of endogenous growth

TL;DR: This article extended these models to include tax- financed government services that affect production or utility, and showed that growth and saving rates fall with an increase in utility-type expenditures; the two rates rise initially with productive government expenditures but subsequently decline.

Is public expenditure productive

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between aggregate productivity and stock and flow government-spending variables is investigated and the empirical results indicate that the non-military public capital stock is dramatically more important in determining productivity than is either the flow of nonmilitary or military spending, and that military capital bears little relation to productivity.

Government Spending in a Simple Model of Endogenous Growth

TL;DR: In this article, tax-financed government services that affect production or utility are extended to include tax-supported government services, and the two rates rise initially with productive government expenditures but subsequently decline with an increase in utility-type expenditures.

Dynamic Analysis of an Endogenous Growth Model with Public Capital

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an endogenous growth model with productive public capital along with private capital in a spirit similar to that of R. J. Barro (1990), which has transitional dynamics unlike most of the previous studies on endogenous growth, including Barro's, where concerns are restricted to the steady state analysis.

Neoclassical Growth, the J Curve for Abatement, and the Inverted U Curve for Pollution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reexamine the neoclassical environmental growth model of Forster to gain insights into the dynamic relationships among pollution, abatement effort, and economic development.
