Abstract

Este Documento de Trabajo contribuye a la literatura existente al examinar las repercusiones del decrecimiento para el bienestar. Utilizamos un modelo de Equilibrio General Dinámico (eDGE) ambiental, calibrado para replicar las características macroeconómicas y ambientales más relevantes de España. This Working Paper contributes to the existing literature by examining the welfare implications of degrowth. We use an environmental Dynamic General Equilibrium (eDGE) model, calibrated to replicate the most relevant macroeconomic and environmental features of Spain.
