中文摘要

這篇文章討論的技術風險與技術進步的關係。在生產過程中,常常會產生給人們帶來負面效用的副產品。相應的,我們用這類副產品的數量作爲衡量技術風險的指標。並且,分析隨著產品品質的提高,副產品是如何發展和變化的。結果,我們發現副產品的數量初始增加,但是隨著產品品質的提高,它開始減少。最後,我們討論了平衡增長路徑的性質並且運用模型解釋了環境中的倒U型Kuznets曲線。

英文摘要

This lecture discusses relationships between the technological risk and the technological progress. Production often causes by-products which will impair individual utility. Accordingly, we use those by-products as an index of the technological risk, and analyze how the by-product to evolve and to change with the advancement of the product's quality. As a result, we find that the amount of by-products initially increases, but as the product' quality continues to increase the amount begins to decrease. Finally, we discuss the characteristics of the balanced growth and use our model to explain the inverted U-shaped pattern found in empirical research for many pollutants (Environmental Kuznets Curve).
