Impure public goods and the comparative statics of environmentally friendly consumption

Article Abstract:

A model to analyze the comparative statics of environmentally friendly consumption is presented. The analysis provides a theoretical foundation for understanding how demands for green products and demand for environmental quality depend on market prices, green production technologies, and ambient environmental quality. Specifically, the model accounts for the way that the jointly produced characteristics of a green product may be available separately as well, through a conventional-good substitute, direct donations to improve environmental quality or both.
