Abstract:
... Transboundary pollution control usually requires the cooperation of neighboring countries due to the externality of pollution. However, countries at different levels of development, which are called asymmetric countries in this paper, may have different attitudes toward this cooperation. The developing countries would like to take a free ride and they can benefit from the cooperation with develope ...

Abstract:
... This paper proposes the hypothesis that population aging could lead to higher demand for money. A testable implication is derived from this hypothesis on the basis of Friedman’s money demand function, which is that the proportion of old-age population is negatively correlated with the velocity of money. The testable implication is verified with the cross section data of 204 countries and the time ...
