To compare the general equilibrium effects of common environmental policies, I develop a model of directed technical change with endogenous exploration for depletable fossil resources, endogenous innovation in technologies for accessing renewable resources, and endogenous innovation in technologies for converting fossil and renewable resources into energy services. I find that a supply restrict...

agricultural activities have always been partly responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases and other environmental contaminants in the atmosphere. thus, studying on the environmental effects of agricultural activities and proposing appropriate strategies to mitigate these adverse effects can be paramount importance. in this study, in order to determine the environmental impacts of peanut ...

During the past century, fossil fuels--petroleum liquids, natural gas and coal--were the dominant source of world energy production. From 1950 to 2005, fossil fuels provided 85-93% of all energy production. All fossil fuels grew substantially during this period, their combined growth exceeding the increase in world population. This growth, however, was irregular, providing for rapidly growing p...
