Abstract

This paper investigates, in an overlapping generations model highlighting two-period lived households, the influence of education and environmental awareness on physical capital and environmental terms by sketching, at the stable steady state equilibrium, the comparative static examination. According to this approach, the study has shown that public education policy can neither boost environmental quality standard nor the capital stock. We figured out also that larger environmental awareness as young results in upper capital accumulation and upper environmental quality. The effect of environmental awareness at old age on capital was negative, while its effect on the environment was positive.
