A number of  economists have claimed that economic growth can benefit the  environment, recruiting political support and finance for  environmental policy measures. This view has received increasing  support since the early 1990s from empirical evidence that has  challenged the traditional environmentalist's belief that economic  growth degrades the environment. This book reviews the theoretical and  empirical literature on growth and the environment, giving an in-depth  empirical treatment of the relationship between the two. Various  hypotheses are formulated and tested for a number of indicators of  environmental pressure. The test results indicate that alternative  models and estimation methods should be used, altering previous  conclusions about the effect of economic growth on the environment and  offering an insight into the forces driving emission reduction in  developed countries.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 January 2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792361534\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e247\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803415384204,"sku":"9780792361534","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792361534.jpg?v=1781752171","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792361534","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
