Abstract
This thesis is divided in five chapters. The first chapter is the introduction that explains the historical background and the development of environmental economics.The second chapter is a preliminary description of the North-South Directed Technical Change (DTC) with environmental externalities model using exogenous taxation.
The third chapter explores new externalities with a focus on a paternalistic optimal policy and the different solutions to each new constraint.
The fourth one focuses on trade and its effect on innovation. There I propose two different models depending on the type of trade concluding with a general model.
Finally, the last chapter is the conclusion with policy implications and ideas for further research.
