Endogenizing Technological Change : Matching Empirical Evidence to Modeling Needs

Pizer, William A. - 2012

Given that technologies to significantly reduce fossil fuel emissions are currently unavailable or only available at high cost, technological change will be a key component of any long-term strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In light of this, the amount of research on the pace,...

Where Does Energy R&D Come from? Examining Crowding Out from Environmentally-Friendly R&D

Popp, David - 2015

Recent efforts to endogenize technological change in climate policy models demonstrate the importance of accounting for the opportunity cost of climate R&D investments. Because the social returns to R&D investments are typically higher than the social returns to other types of investment, any...

The Learning Process and Technological Change in Wind Power : Evidence from China's CDM Wind Projects

Tang, Tian - 2014

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a project-based carbon trade mechanism that subsidizes the users of climate-friendly technologies and encourages technology transfer. The CDM has provided financial support for a large share of Chinese wind projects since 2002. Using pooled...

The Role of Technological Change in Green Growth

Popp, David - 2014

By reducing the costs of environmental protection, technological change is important for promoting green growth. This entails both the creation of new technologies and more widespread deployment of existing green technologies. This paper reviews the literature on environmentally friendly...

Lessons from Patents : Using Patents to Measure Technological Change in Environmental Models

Popp, David - 2022

When studying solutions to long-term environmental problems such as climate change, it is important to consider the role that technological change may play. Nonetheless, to date few economic models of climate change explicitly model the link between policy and technological change. There is a...

Entice : Endogenous Technological Change in the Dice Model of Global Warming

Popp, David - 2021

Despite growing empirical evidence of the link between environmental policy and innovation, most economic models of environmental policy treat technology as exogenous. For long-term problems such as climate change, this omission can be significant. In this paper, I modify the DICE model of...

Exploring Links between Innovation and Diffusion : Adoption of Nox Control Technologies at U.S. Coal-Fired Power Plants

Popp, David - 2021

While many studies have looked at innovation and adoption of technologies separately, the two processes are linked. Advances (and expected advances) in a single technology should affect both its adoption rate and the adoption of alternative technologies. Moreover, advances made abroad may affect...
