Sustainability Traps: Patience and Innovation
通过模型分析长期导向、环境质量与创新之间的互动关系，发现污染制造业的短期快感与可持续创新之间存在权衡，导致多重均衡。针对行为的环境政策可通过环境-耐心-创新渠道带来经济与环境的双重红利。
Abstract This paper argues that the joint relation between long-term orientation, environmental quality and innovation plays a key role in explaining the economic and the environmental dimension of sustainability. In our model multiple equilibria of economic development and environmental quality can arise due to a trade-off between the demand for innovation that promotes sustainability, and the ephemeral pleasure from polluting manufacturing that impedes it. Additional to traditional policies such as aid and technology transfers, policies that target behavioral changes through environmental protection may provide a double-dividend of economic and environmental sustainability through an environment-patience-innovation channel.
