O presente trabalho pesquisa o histórico da abordagem da escola austríaca em relação a problemas ambientais, desde o início dessa tradição (1871) até a atualidade (2021). Nessa pesquisa, observa-se que, após muitos anos de considerações apenas superficiais sobre o tema, o artigo Law, Property Rights, and Air Pollution, publicado por Murray Rothbard, em 1982, marcou o início da definição de um paradigma marcadamente austríaco, isto é, baseado na ontologia subjetivista, para os problemas ambientais, no que foi seguido por outros autores, com destaque para Roy Cordato e Graham Dawson. Mais adiante, no entanto, este artigo identifica os problemas que persistem para a formulação coerente dessa abordagem como contraponto à economia ambiental neoclássica e as limitações que sua natureza microanalítica impõe à formulação de um contraponto à economia ecológica.

General Equilibrium Modelling

Air Pollution, Allocation of Property Rights, Environmental Issues and Theoretical Overlapping Generations General Equilibrium ModellingThis paper presents how the environment - considered as a production factor - and other related assumptions can be introduced step by step in a theoretical Overlapping Generations General Equilibrium Model (OLG - GE). The first part shows the behaviors of agents with pollution in the absence of an environmental policy. The second part emphasizes a Greenhouse Gas abatement policy through the allocation of Pollution Permit ownership, which allows property rights on the environment; here we assume a three-factor model: Capital - Labor - Environment. The last part of of the paper highlights one theoretical property about the allocation of pollution permits within a OLG-GE steady state with the environment. To our knowledge, it is the first time that the aforementioned property has been characterized.

Regression Techniques

AbstractThis paper reports a test of the endowment effect in an economic analysis of localized air pollution. Regression techniques are used to test the significance of perceived property rights on household WTP for improved air quality versus WTA compensation to forgo an improvement in air quality. Our experiment contributes to the research into the WTP/WTA divergence by providing a new basis for supporting the existence of an endowment effect. Our results are in contrast to recent work by Shogren et al. which supports the substitution proposition of Hanemann while rejecting the endowment effect.
