Economic Growth And Environment: Tourism As A Trigger For Green Growth, Simone Marsiglio
Economic Growth And Environment: Tourism As A Trigger For Green Growth, Simone Marsiglio
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
The author analyses the implications of tourism activities on economic growth and environmental assets, focusing especially on small island countries. She develops a stylized dynamic economic model in which tourism is the trigger of the incentive mechanism leading to abatement activities and economic growth. The basic idea is that tourists choose the location to visit according to a number of factors (including environmental quality) which are affected by residents' choices.

The author shows that the (sustainable) balanced growth …

By examining old and "new" methods, we aim to construct a typology …
Oil Production Rehabilitation, Fiscal Policy And Economic Development In Libya: A Future View, Issa Saleh Ali, Charles Harvie
Oil Production Rehabilitation, Fiscal Policy And Economic Development In Libya: A Future View, Issa Saleh Ali, Charles Harvie

The model is ideally appropriate to analyze macroeconomic issues in oil-producing developing countries. In particular, it is capable of incorporating alternative government policy responses toward the allocation of the oil revenue either upon consumption spending or development spending in the form of government investment spending upon infrastructure, human capital formation and technology acquisition in non-oil production. It is also capable of incorporating different degrees of international capital mobility …
