Deviations in Kilometres Travelled: The Impact of Different Mobility Futures on Energy Use and Climate

Longden, Thomas - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

The importance of a focus on mobility and the kilometres travelled using light duty vehicles is reflected in the persistence of strong demand for personal mobility and emissions that tend to be linked with population and economic growth. Simulation results using the WITCH model show that changes...

How trade patterns and technology flows affect productivity growth

Keller, Wolfgang - Economics Research, World Bank Group - 1997

Earlier studies of spillovers from international research and development (R&D) suggest how economies benefit from R&D conducted abroad. To the extent that countries importing new technologies do not pay in full for the increased variety in intermediate inputs in production, they are reaping an...

Linking Environmental and Innovation Policy

Gerlagh, Reyer; Kverndokk, Snorre; Rosendah, Knut Einar - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008

This paper addresses the timing and interdependence between innovation and environmental policy in a model of research … and development (R&D). On a first-best path the environmental tax is set at the Pigouvian level, independent of innovation …. However, with finite patent lifetime, optimal innovation policy depends on the stage of the environmental problem. In the …
