We extend the Solow-Swan model with a logistic-type population growth, introduced by Ferrara and Guerrini (2008), by incorporating technological progress in pollution abatement, in a way similar to Brock and Taylor (2004). Within this framework, we determine the model's solution and prove the economy to be convergent in the long-run. In addition, we investigate sustainable growth and show that this occurs if technological progress in abatement is faster than technological progress in production. Moreover, an environmental Kuznets curve may result along the transition to the balanced growth path.

Abstract
We extend the Solow-Swan model with a logistic-type population growth, introduced by Ferrara and Guerrini (2008), by incorporating technological progress in pollution abatement, in a way similar to Brock and Taylor (2004). Within this framework, we determine the model's solution and prove the economy to be convergent in the long-run. In addition, we investigate sustainable growth and show that this occurs if technological progress in abatement is faster than technological progress in production. Moreover, an environmental Kuznets curve may result along the transition to the balanced growth path.File in questo prodotto:
