摘要:In this paper we study the optimal growth path and its decentralization in a two-sector overlappinggenerations
model with pollution. One sector (power generation) is polluting and the other (final
good) is not. Pollution is regulated by tradable emission permits. The issue is whether the optimal
growth path can be replicated in equilibrium with pollution permits, given that some permits must be
issued free of charge for the sake of political acceptability. We provide a policy rule that allows
optimality and acceptability to be reconciled.
