Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify the pollution-economy relationships by means of a new pollution model. We established a new pollution model from some environmental economic factors ; output, energy, pollutants, and costs of pollution abatement. This model explains how Japan could sustain a high economic growth under the strict pollution regulation. The results of this study showed a negative relation ships between the cost of pollution abatements and the amount of pollutant in Japan. This pollution model reveals that the experience of Japan, which has developed and anti-pollution technology and has created very economical use of energy, would be very useful to the environmental pollicies of the developing countries having serious environmental problems, and this wise Japan's role could be seen as becoming increasingly important in tackling the global environmental problems.
