| Abstract: | We consider the Leontief model augmented with pollution-generation and pollution-abatement sectors. The conditions to ensure the existence of non-negative solutions for the total output and for the vector of abatement activities, depending on the exogenously given final demand and environmental standards, are presented. They are extensions and modifications of the conditions for a single pollutant derived, for example, by Miller and Blair. |
