Simulações computacionais para os efeitos da regulação ambiental sobre o crescimento e a dinâmica industrial: uma abordagem evolucionária

Abstract

This research brings an evolutionary approach about the environment‟s current situation. Is a new proposed point of view, without competition between economy and the environment (as the conventional theory does). The ecology should be in the competitive strategies of the firm. Through computational simulation method was investigated the effectiveness of three types of policies, all different about their restrictiveness degree. Such policies are: an ecological tribute, a subsidy to green R&D, and a program for environmental education that means, in the market, a consumer‟s preference for ecology. Were simulated nine types of policies combinations, with different values for the parameters, with the objective to test the economics variables‟ sensibility. Hence, the main purpose is to find the best policy for the environment and its consequences for the industrial dynamic. The most important conclusion is that the success of an environmental policy depends on its restriction, as Porter has supposed
