This paper studies policy instruments that correct insufficient learning-by-doing (LbD) and research and development (R&D) of renewable electricity technologies and insufficient investments in energy efficiency (EE) in the presence of carbon pricing. The theoretical model analysis shows how to...

Tinbergen's seminal work showed that we need as many policy instruments as there are market failures to address. In practice, however, regulatory power is often constrained, making it difficult or impossible to implement the first-best policy portfolio. We analyze analytically and numerically...

This North-South model of Schumpeterian endogenous growth combines a market, productivity and knowledge effect. A set of various convergent and divergent growth paths is derived that is much richer than in the literature so far. South-North convergence based on North-South technology diffusion...

Recent Conferences of the UNFCCC Parties (COP) emphasized international technology funding as a means of achieving carbon emissions reductions in developing countries. Such funds are now being realized. Nonetheless, this paper is possibly the first theory-based discussion of international...
