“…One motivation for the establishment of Environment and Development Economics was the provision of a forum in which the insights of both the natural and economic sciences could be brought to bear on the links between environmental change and economic development, but it has proved harder to realize this goal than others. Over the last two decades natural scientists have been engaged in a series of policy fora and synthesis papers (Arrow et al , 1996; Bolin, 1998; Levin et al , 1998, 2013; Ehrlich and Ehrlich, 2002; Ehrlich, 2008), but the majority of contributions to the journal derive from economists whose primary home lies in either environment or development. This is not to decry these contributions.…”

This paper reviews the evolution of the field of environment and development over the last two decades. I argue that a central concern of the field has been the relation between natural resource use, income and growth, under the institutional and market conditions that prevail in developing countries. Particular attention is paid to the demographic and other drivers of change in the asset base, the linkages between poverty, property rights and the allocation of natural resources, the valuation of environmental assets and investment of resource rents, and the development of policies for managing environmental externalities and environmental public goods. I consider how the balance between topics and the treatment of individual topics has changed over time, and indicate how the field might be expected to move in the future.

“…Traditionally, coping mechanisms for adapting to seasonal and annual climate variability include sharing local knowledge on varieties, farming systems, management technologies etc. but the need to increase production, coupled with the speed and magnitude of the expected changes in climate, poses new challenges (Bolin, 2001). …”

“…Given the significant scientific and economic uncertainty surrounding global warming (Bolin (1998)) and the nature of CO 2 abatement activities which usually seem to involve sunk costs, the issue of irreversible decision-makings under uncertainty should play an increasingly important role in the literature. Regarding these this topic, we could build future researches upon the works by Kolstad (1996), Conrad (1997) and Pindyck (2000).…”

Environmental transfers against global warming: a credit-based program

This paper investigates the impacts of institutionalizing a credit-based transfer program between developing and developed countries. Such a program is expected to become an essence of the Clean Development Mechanism, which is to be implemented shortly. The provisions of financial and technological transfers are incorporated simultaneously into a dynamic game model of global stock pollution where the efficiency in emission abatement is also described as a stock variable. Our numerical simulation indicates that a credit-based transfer program can be more beneficial for a recipient country as well as for a donor country than a non-credit-based transfer program. This is because, with a credit system, the donor country increases the provisions of both economic and technological transfers and the benefits from their increases overwhelm the welfare loss to the recipient country from a reduction in the donor country's abatement efforts.
