【报告内容简介】：

　　This lecture will review theoretical models and empirical research on the effect of economic growth on the environment in both the short run and the long run. The study will closely examine the Burke et al. (2015) and Burke (2013) papers, as well as a forthcoming paper by Stern et al. in Environment and Development Economics. The lecture will also review available data sources for carrying out macro-level empirical research on the effect of economic growth on the environment.
