Resource Augmenting Technological Progress and Sustainable Development?
This paper constructs a three-sector growth model with non-renewable environmental resource and a resource augmenting technological progress, and investigates the relation between the sustainability of resource use and growth of the nations. When the resource augmenting technological progress arises, it is shown that, if the agent is patient, then resource extraction is reduced. We can also prove that, in the opposite preference case, resource use is promoted. These results present a significant policy implication for environmental conservation.Non-renewable resource, Resource augmenting technological progress, Sustainable development
Phase structure of NJL model with weak renormalization group
We analyze the chiral phase structure of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at
finite temperature and density by using the functional renormalization group
(FRG). The renormalization group (RG) equation for the fermionic effective
potential is given as a partial differential equation, where
and is a dimensionless RG scale. When the dynamical
chiral symmetry breaking (DSB) occurs at a certain scale ,
has singularities originated from the phase transitions, and then
one cannot follow RG flows after . In this study, we introduce the weak
solution method to the RG equation in order to follow the RG flows after the
DSB and to evaluate the dynamical mass and the chiral condensate in low
energy scales. It is shown that the weak solution of the RG equation correctly
captures vacuum structures and critical phenomena within the pure fermionic
system. We show the chiral phase diagram on temperature, chemical potential and
the four-Fermi coupling constant.Comment: 32 pages, 12 figures; Version published in Nuclear Physics
