Políticas de mitigação de mudanças climáticas para o Brasil : análise com um modelo dinâmico de supermultiplicador sraffiano com consistência de fluxos e estoques

Abstract

Current scientific evidences have been indicating that global warming is in fact real and that global temperature rises could become catastrophic and irreversible if nothing is done to prevent it. Amidst this debate, different economic schools of thought have been debating their visions and policies to face the problem. Here we intended to take part in this debate by building a growth model for the Brazilian economy which causes and is affected by climate change. In order to do that, we worked with two heterodox frameworks: stock-flow consistent models (SFC) and sraffian supermultiplier models. We’ve also compared the two major propositions in the literature: the limits to growth agenda and the decoupling hypothesis. In general, the latter seemed more effective in preventing economic collapse, while the first seemed less effective for the Brazilian case.
