Today, the region in general but also Kosovo faces a lack of electricity on one hand and environmental pollution other from existing power plants where is produced for community thermo-plants A B. The purpose importance this paper that samples taken through layers (floors) coal by drilling to extract calorific values (ETU) percentage ash, whose parameters were analysed laboratory geo-mechanics ...

The rapid industrial development that began in the 1950's created environmental problems which consequently led to health hazards among residents of heavily polluted areas in Japan, such as Minamata Disease and Yokkaichi Asthma. Faced with these situations, the Japanese national government and local environmental authorities exerted much efforts to control pollution as well as to provide soluti...

The important issues of China’s environmental pollution and its internal reasons have been explored by means of the software MATLAB which has been widely applied to the economics fields due to its powerful mathematical and graphical functions. The impact of local government’s behavior on environmental pollution has been evaluated and, an empirical analysis based on China’s 30 provincial data fr...

  The main purpose of this study is to estimate the maritime transportation elasticities of the environmental pollution and economic growth in Iran within the short-run and long-run to find out the relationships among maritime transportation, environmental pollution and economic growth. The lagged endogenous model (a dynamic log-linear model that we used) is estimated using two distinctive ...

The bus-based public transport system in developing countries poses serious environmental challenges. This paper explores the environmental performance of buses managed and operated by private companies in Lahore under franchise initiative of Government of Punjab. The empirical evidence shows that buses pollute the air with CO and NOx emissions. The bus-based air pollution is result of obsolete...

We develop an overlapping-generations model with human capital accumulation and endogenous fertility containing a pollution externality. In such a framework, we study the effects of an environmental policy change on individuals’ quality-quantity trade-off on children. In a Malthusian poverty trap, we show that a more stringent policy induces a reduction of the fertility rate. In a state of perp...

Environmental pollution is now a serious problem in many developing countries. One approach to combat the problem is to implement various pollution control policies. However, due to a lack of adequate quantitative models, the economic impacts and effectiveness of many pollution control policies are still unknown. This article uses the computable general-equilibrium (CGE) approach to develop an ...
