Co2 Emissions and GDP : Evidence from China

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria - 2019

This paper examines the relationship between the logarithms of CO2 emissions and real GDP in China by applying fractional integration and cointegration methods. The univariate results indicate that the two series are highly persistent, their orders of integration being around 2, whilst the...

Technological Growth and Hours in the Long Run : Theory and Evidence

Reif, Magnus; Tesfaselassie, Mewael F.; Wolters, Maik H. - 2021

Over the last decades, hours worked per capita have declined substantially in many OECD economies. Using a neoclassical growth model with endogenous work-leisure choice, we assess the role of trend growth slowdown in accounting for the decline in hours worked. In the model, a permanent reduction...

Automation, Economic Growth, and the Labor Share - A Comment on Prettner (2019)

Heer, Burkhard - 2019

Prettner (2019) studies the implications of automation for economic growth and the labor share in a variant of the Solow-Swan model. The aggregate production function allows for two types of capital, traditional and automation capital. Traditional capital and labor are imperfect substitutes...

The Diffusion of Technological Progress in ICT

Elstner, Steffen; Grimme, Christian; Kecht, Valentin; … - 2021

We study whether technology gains in sectors related to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) increase productivity in the rest of the economy. To separate exogenous gains in ICT from other technological progress, we use the relative price of ICT goods and services in a structural VAR...

The Social Cost of Carbon and the Ramsey Rule

Withagen, Cees - 2019

The objective of this paper is to critically assess the use of simple rules for the social cost of carbon (SCC) that employ a rudimentary form of the Ramsey Rule. Two interrelated caveats apply. First, if climate change poses a serious problem, it is hard to justify an exogenous constant growth...

Does Telecommuting Reduce Commuting Emissions?

Marz, Waldemar; Sen, Suphi - 2021

The long-term trend toward more work from home due to digitization has found a strong new driver, the Covid-19 pandemic. The profound change in urban mobility patterns supports the often-held view that reducing the number of commuting trips can lower carbon emissions to a certain degree. We...
