Sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) that lead to an increase in productivity are central to the acceleration of economic growth; this will alleviate poverty and help to overcome the recurrent food shortages that affect millions of households in Africa. However, the adoption rates of SAPs remain below expected levels. This paper analyzes the factors that facilitate or impede the probabilit...

The development of markets for natural resources can help to ensure that individual users appropriately internalize the opportunity cost of these resources and thus can decrease resource use. However, expansion of markets also makes it possible to sell these resources, which may lead to more rapid extraction. A simple model of markets for groundwater suggests that the latter effect dominates an...

Globally, the transport sector has been directed towards electric mobility by policies, regulations, development strategies and economic incentives. The an important strategic role in of a country, sustainability this impact on political scientific discussions due to its environmental impact. In Colombia, global targets for reducing polluting emissions begin drive renewal automotive park mobili...

The main aim of this study is to analyze the effect external debt on different types emissions in India as carbon dioxide emissions, methane from liquid fuel consumption, solid and gaseous consumption. has a fast growing especially after 2008 world financial crisis. similar situation China Turkey which also started increase significantly only analyzed by Katircioglu Celebi (2018), Beşe, Friday,...

The issue of environmental protection has gained momentum in recent times. Climate change left no one untouched, and economies across the globe are debating on ways protection. Sustainable growth become buzzword- including using energy-efficient sources production paying attention to environment human capital. In light this, green or accounting is significant, as this can make companies more co...

Employing a novel dynamical system modeling approach with global data, our best-fit model identifies the mechanisms for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions to under 44 gigatonnes of carbondioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) by 2020. Our results show that with a business-as-usual scenario the global emissions will reach 61 GtCO2e by 2020. We test the estimated parameters to suggest options to set t...

We report the results of an experimental study of production decisions in an environment with dynamic costs of pollution and climate change. Every period, agents simultaneously decide on own level of production that generates private production revenue and emissions. Emissions lead to pollution which acts as a public bad and accumulates over time. Our main treatment variable is the emission pro...

Groundwater depletion is becoming a serious policy concern in many developing countries but little is known about the costs of groundwater depletion. I use annual deviations of depth to groundwater from 1999 to 2003 from the 1985-1995 decadal means for Indian districts, to investigate how production and sown area respond to groundwater fluctuations. I find that a 1 meter decline in groundwater ...

We derive an expression relating the change in instantaneous utility to the growth of net (genuine) saving in an economy with multiple stocks and externalities that maximizes welfare in the utilitarian sense. This result is then shown to hold for decentralized competitive efficient economies as well, to yield an extension of the Hartwick rule: instantaneous utility is non-declining along a deve...

We study a growth model for a single resource-based economy, as an infinite-horizon optimal control problem. The resource is assumed to be governed by the standard model of logistic growth, and is related to the output of the economy through a Cobb-Douglass type production function with an exogenously driven knowledge stock. The problem involves unbounded controls and the non-concave Hamiltonia...
