Energy efficiency and directed technical change : implications for climate change mitigation

Casey, Gregory - 2022

I build a quantitative model of economic growth that can be used to evaluate the impact of environmental policy interventions on ﬁnal-use energy consumption, an important driver of carbon emissions. In the model, energy demand is driven by directed technical change. Energy supply is subject to...

Technology agreements with heterogeneous countries

Hoel, Michael; Zeeuw, Aart de - 2014

For sufficiently low abatement costs many countries might undertake significant emission reductions even without any international agreement on emission reductions. We consider a situation where a coalition of countries does not cooperate on emission reductions but cooperates on the development...

Technological transfers in global climate policy

Buchholz, Wolfgang; Dippl, Lisa; Eichenseer, Michael - 2015 - This version: September 30, 2015

Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that leadership behavior in climate policy through increased abatement efforts or international transfers cannot be expected to be very successful. In this paper we instead show that pioneering activities, which are based on green technological...

Sustainable finance and climate change : wasteful but a political commitment device?

Fuest, Clemens; Meier, Volker - 2022

Promoting investment in low carbon "clean" sectors has gained popularity over the last years under the heading of sustainable finance, at the same time raising concerns about adverse welfare effects of such policies. We analyze the economic impact of subsidizing investment in "clean" industries...
