In modern societies individuals often try to alleviate their personal damages from environmental degradation\ud by increasing their consumption of private goods. Although this “self-protective” behavior is very\ud frequent in industrial economies, insufficient attention has been paid to its economic and environmental\ud consequences. In this paper we show that such a behavior can make everyone worse-off. For this purpose,\ud using as paradigmatic case a two-islands evolutionary model, we prove analytically that environmental\ud “self-protection” may trap the system into an undesirable (Pareto-dominated) situation and discuss a few\ud real-life examples in which this mechanism may have actually occurred. Although the proposed model\ud is deliberately extremely simple, it may provide some interesting insights on an aspect that has been\ud mainly ignored in the literature so far

“…The basic technique is aptly termed the defensive expenditure method, and Shortle and Abler (2001) review its theoretical basis. Escofet and Bravo-Pena (2007) and Rogers et al (1997) apply the method in Mexico and Australia.…”

“…Our model is related to the literature on self-protection strategies adopted by economic agents to defend themselves against the consequences of environmental degradation (see, e.g., Hirsch, 1976;Hueting 1980;Shibata and Winrich, 1983;Bird, 1987;Leipert and Simonis, 1988;Shogren and Crocker, 1991;Yongguan et al, 2001;López, 2003;Escofet and Bravo-Peña, 2007). In the case in which there is no coordination among economic agents, self-protection strategies may give rise to socially undesirable outcomes.…”

This paper analyzes the dynamics of a small open economy with two sectors (a farming sector and an industrial one), heterogeneous agents (workers and\ud entrepreneurs) and free inter-sectoral labor mobility. Labor productivity in the first sector is negatively affected by environmental pollution generated by\ud both sectors, whereas in the second sector it is positively affected by physical capital accumulated by entrepreneurs. Through a global analysis of the non-\ud linear three-dimensional dynamic system of the model we derive conditions under which industrialization generates a decline in workers’ revenues in both\ud sectors
