Existence of equilibria in exhaustible resource markets with economies of scale and inventories
In contrast to the standard approach in energy economics, this paper assumes that physical capital accumulation is relatively more energy-intensive than consumption. By means of Gaussian hypergeometric functions, we provide a closed-form representation of the optimal solution paths of our variables in levels, whatever the initial conditions (i.e., ...

This paper extends the literature on the taxation of polluting exhaustible resources by taking international heterogeneities and national tax-setting into account. We propose a two-country Romer model of endogenous growth in which the South is endowed with the stock of an essential polluting non-renewable resource and world economic growth is drive...
Nous présentons un modèle de croissance endogène dans lequel l’utilisation d’une ressource naturelle non renouvelablepolluante génère des émissions de CO2, dont une partie peut être séquestrée. Ceci rompt l’habituel lien systématique entreutilisation de la ressource et émissions polluantes. Le stock accumulé des émissions restantes affecte négative...
