Being a real concern of any society, environmental quality has received much attention in economic literature. However, the role that the institutional context plays in environmental issues is still an open question. Since the environment and institutional context are closely interrelated through government regulation, the investigation on the relationship between environment-institutions represents a fruitful terrain for economic research. Our aim is to design research notes to study this relationship using theoretical and empirical approaches, by modelling the institutional context and estimating its impact on the environment. Our notes could also shed fresh light on the issue of environmental policies and their implementation in emerging and developing economies.

Abstract
Being a real concern of any society, environmental quality has received much attention in economic literature. However, the role that the institutional context plays in environmental issues is still an open question. Since the environment and institutional context are closely interrelated through government regulation, the investigation on the relationship between environment-institutions represents a fruitful terrain for economic research. Our aim is to design research notes to study this relationship using theoretical and empirical approaches, by modelling the institutional context and estimating its impact on the environment. Our notes could also shed fresh light on the issue of environmental policies and their implementation in emerging and developing economies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
