Mitigation-Process Integrated Assessment Models (MP-IAMs) are used to analyze long-term transformation pathways of the energy system required to achieve stringent climate change mitigation targets. Due to their substantial temporal and spatial aggregation, IAMs cannot explicitly represent all...

The amount of materials used worldwide in production and consumption increased by 56 per cent from 1995 to 2008. Using an index decomposition analysis based on the logarithmic mean divisia index, we investigate the drivers of material use, both on a global and a country scale. We exploit a panel...

accelerated the development and integration of large-scale battery storage facilities. We document charging and discharging … patterns in the California market and show how battery activity correlates with load and real-time prices. We further propose … an instrumental variable strategy to estimate the short-term impact of prices on battery discharge. The empirical …
