Abstract

[eng] Effects of Pollution Permits on Capital Accumulation in an Overlapping-Generations Model.. The authors use an overlapping-generations model to study the effects of the introduction of a market for pollution permits and the effects of a variation in the number of permits on long-term capital accumulation. Pollution permits, viewed as a private right on the environment, lead to arbitrage between physical capital and environmental capital. The authors show that the effects can be negative or positive, depending on production function elasticities and agents’ preferences. The study, with log-linear utility functions and CES production functions, underscores that the positive effects on production and wages dominate the arbitrage effect on savings when factors are complementary to each other and also, inversely, if they are sufficiently substitutable. [fre] En considérant un modèle à générations imbriquées, nous étudions les effets de l’introduction d’un marché de permis de pollution et d’une variation du nombre de permis sur l’accumulation du capital à long terme. Les permis de pollution, apparaissant comme un droit privé sur l’environnement, induisent un arbitrage entre capital physique et capital environnemental. Nous montrons que ces effets peuvent être négatifs ou positifs selon les élasticités de la fonction de production et les préférences des agents. L’étude avec des fonctions d’utilité log-linéaires et de production CES, souligne que les effets positifs sur la production et les salaires dominent l’effet d’arbitrage sur l’épargne quand il y a complémentarité des facteurs et inversement s’il y a suffisamment de substituabilité.
