Additionally having environmental policy as an endogenous variable in the model, it provides an instrument that may be use

This happens because the environmental policy affects the payment to capital. This influences the desire to invest ev

So the environmental policy has both a dynamic and static role in determining the amount of capital that is accumulated and the location where it is employed, leading to the emission

While using the inter temporal income-environment relation of one economy to make predictions for another economy, the model considers that one needs to account for the differences in structure of production, techniques of production, stage of development, nature of environmental policy an

The dynamic aspect of the model allows analyzing the growth of the economies and the scale effects on env

In this model environmental policy is modeled as a per-unit pollution tax. Change in the pollution tax affects
9、 the per unit emission of each good. The spirit of the model is similar to the Ramsey-Cass- Koop mans Neoclassical Growth Model with an endogenous savings rate. This model uses a system of difference equations that arise from the first order conditions of inter temporal welfare maximization, and als

Evolution of the variables is defined as the movement from the initial conditions to the steady state along the saddle path. Change in the initial condition
11、s, parameters of the model and the environmental tax rule translate into changes in the paths and the relations between variables. These dimensions of the exercise provide a more comprehensive understanding of the economic reasons underlying the Environmental Kuznets Curve. It examines whether and w
12、hen it is realistic for polluted economies to pin their hope on higher incomes as a solution to improve environmental quality. We can conclude that during growth of an economy, whether developed or developing, a stricter environmental standard with growth of the economy is a necessary condition for
13、the inverted-U shaped relation between increasing capital inflows, income and emissions to emerge. This is because at higher taxes in greater economic prosperity encourages profit maximizing producers to adopt cleaner technologies and at the same time provides reasons to move to cleaner sectors. Dif
14、ference in trade patterns cause shifts in the inverted-U shape, but does not change the overall shape of the relation. Efficient emission taxation laws correctly reflecting the increasing disutility of emissions is a special case of the necessary condition of pollution taxes rising with capital infl
15、ows and economic growth. This efficient taxation leads to an inverted U relation between capital mobility, income improvement and pollution that is welfare maximizing for the economy. Anyhow, observing an inverted U-shape is not enough to infer efficiency of the environmental policy or the effect of
16、 capital inflows or the income environment outcomes for that economy. We cannot rely solely on higher incomes as a remedy for environmental degradation issues, whereas environmental concerns are already an important fact in developing countries agendas. When emission tax policies do not respond to c
17、onsumer disutility, pollution shows no sign of decreasing at higher income levels. Which is the case in some Asian countries, sufficiently high fixed taxes may make the fixed-tax steady state outcomes consistent with the steady-state under optimal tax but this would impose an unnecessary burden at e
18、arlier stages of development when the shadow cost of pollution to those affected is relatively smaller. However, without accounting for the difference in environmental policy between developed and developing economies, it would be misguided for all to expect that environmental degradation will decli
19、ne at higher income levels. Governments need to respond to consumer preference to attain the optimal outcome. In a free trade, open economy framework, and identical efficient policy regimes will not deliver identical environmental outcomes to economies that have different trade patterns like it is t
20、he case of Mexico and the USA. For two economies that begin international trade starting at different points in their growth path, the implications are very different. In absence of other sources of comparative advantage caused by difference in factor endowments, the developing economy will accept f
21、oreign capital inflows and will experience a worse environmental outcome than its developed partner. The developed economy will be able to invest its capital abroad, wherever the highest returns are available, and use them to buy dirty commodities. This result highlights the fact that predictions fo
22、r individual economies using analyses based on two economies might be misleading. When Cropper and Griffiths predict that “A country with population density of 0.7 persons per hectare requires an income of $11,650 per year to achieve the same rate of deforestation” they do not consider that the timi
23、ng of growth itself will have an inter temporal influence on the income environment relation which cannot be taken care by country specific fixed effects or by other explanatory variables. If the developed economy adopts a suboptimal environmental policy, then the share of capital that is invested w
24、ithin the developed economy is large. If the developing partner implements a more efficient environmental regime, then the developed partner may end up accepting the bigger share of world capital at a bigger environmental cost to itself. Hence the inverted-U curve of the poor foreign economy is init
25、ially above that of the rich home economy. At a later stage of growth of the world economy, the inverted-U of rich home might intersect and rise above that of the poorer foreign economy. Additional factors that affect the relationship of environmental outcomes and income are pollution disutility awa
26、reness, price changes in the sectors that the country has comparative advantage in, and the technology of production and abatement. But environmental policies may or may not be implemented when economy is developing. There are several points that impede a clear policy conclusion derived from the EKC
