Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the interplay between population and environmental quality. In particular, we set up a theoretical framework suitable to jointly analyze two major endogenous forces of demographic change, namely fertility and life expectancy, and relate them to human capital and environmental conditions in a dynamics perspective. This complements the existing literature on environmental matters, which has , in most cases, separately studied the implications of longevity and fertility thus missing some interesting element of analysis.
