Economic Growth and Environmental Policy

A Theoretical Approach

New Horizons in Environmental Economics series

Frank Hettich, Lecturer and Research Fellow, Department of Economics, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald, Germany

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.

‘An excellent volume for those specialising in environmental economics, especially those focusing upon the relationship between economic growth and environmental policy.’
