Abstract

RESUME :Le but de cet article est d'étudier comment la naissance et la croissance d'une économie estsusceptible d'affecter le fonctionnement de son environnement modélisé sous la forme d'uncycle naturel. Afin de mettre en évidence les facteurs qui stabilisent le système formé par lecycle naturel et l'économie et ceux qui au contraire sont susceptibles de le déstabiliser et de leconduire à l'effondrement, différents cas de figure sont envisagés selon la nature (i) des coûtsmarginaux d'extraction d'une ressource renouvelable faisant partie du cycle et (ii) des impactsde la pollution sur l'environnement.
