Optimum Growth of an Economy Facing the Risk of Ecological Disaster
by Morgane Chevé
In this paper we develop an optimum growth model for an economy whose economic activities generate pollution emissions which reduce household well-being. Furthermore, the build-up of pollution causes a risk of ecological disaster with irreversible consequences for economic activity. In this context we show that constant output and effective pollution abatement are no longer sufficient to guarantee that the economy will be able to achieve sustainable long-term growth. In addition, the risk of ecological disaster induces a more conservative attitude with pollution emissions being reduced. This reduction is all the greater if there is a high probability of disaster and/or its consequences will be serious. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
