What Should We Expect from Innovation? A Model-Based Assessment of the Environmental and Mitigation Cost Implications of Climate-Related R&D

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilisation objectives: i) Can … innovation policies be effective in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations? ii) To what extent can innovation policies … technical progress in the energy sector. We evaluate a range of innovation policies, both as a stand-alone instrument and in …

The Role of R&D and Technology Diffusion in Climate Change Mitigation: New Perspectives Using the Witch Model

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

This paper uses the WITCH model, a computable general equilibrium model with endogenous technological change, to explore the impact of various climate policies on energy technology choices and the costs of stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations. Current and future expected carbon prices...

Transboundary Pollution, R&D Spillovers and International Trade

Youssef, Slim Ben - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003

We consider a symmetric three-stage game played by a pair of regulator-firm hierarchies to capture the scale and technology effects. Each firm produces one good sold on the market. The production process generates pollution characterized by a fixed emission/output ratio, and cross-borders. Firms...

R&D in Cleaner Technology and International Trade

Youssef, Slim Ben - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

We consider a dynamic three-stage game played by two regulator-firm hierarchies to capture the scale and technological effects of opening markets to international trade. Each firm produces one good sold on the market. Firms can invest in R&D in order to lower their fixed emission/output ratio...
