Abstract
Abstract:This paper investigated, 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. As for the individuals' environmental awareness at old age, we revealed that it leads from one hand to less physical capital accumulation and from the other hand to a better environmental quality only in the case where the value of the environmental awareness at young age is 10 and the value of environmental awareness at old age is greater than or equal to 40.
