The Environment as a Factor of Production: The Effects of Economic Growth and Trade Liberalization
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Economic growth and trade liberalization decrease the degradation of natural resources if and only if producers internalize their stock feedback effects on production. For environmental factors without stock effects on production, economic growth is necessarily detrimental if preferences are homothetic. In the non-homothetic case, the relationship between growth and pollution depends on the elasticity of substitution in production between conventional factors and pollution and on the relative degree of curvature of utility in income. The lower are the elasticity of substitution and relative curvature coefficient, the more likely it is that pollution increases with income. An inverted U-shaped relationship between pollution and income is obtained.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
