MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: We suggest a simple, interdisciplinary, qualitative, system-theoretical model of long-run environmental development, where the dynamics of environmental quality are determined by the interactions across the political, economic, ecological/natural, and socio-cultural systems. The resulting model is a self-regulating feedback-loop system and can be used to explain the existence and the characteristics of different empirically observable economic/societal development stages (pollution phase and ecological phase) and environmental and economic policy-regime switches consistent with empirical evidence.

Keywords: environmental quality, environmental pollution, long-run dynamics, development, growth, development stages, policy-regime switches; economic; socio-cultural; political; ecological; qualitative; system theory; feedback loop; self-regulation (search for similar items in EconPapers)
