The Optimal Climate Policy Portfolio when Knowledge Spills Across Sectors
Massetti, Emanuele; Nicita, Lea - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
This paper studies the implications for climate policy of the interactions between environmental and knowledge externalities. Using a numerical analysis performed with the hybrid integrated assessment model WITCH, extended to include mutual spillovers between the energy and the non-energy...

Short and Long-term Effects of Environmental Tax Reform
Oueslati, Walid - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
This paper examines the macroeconomic effects of an environmental tax reform in a growing economy. A model of endogenous growth based on human capital accumulation is used to numerically simulate the growth effects of different environmental tax reforms and compute their impact on welfare in the...

The Growth-Environment Trade-off: Horizontal vs Vertical Innovations
Andre'' Grimaud; Ricci, Francesco - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 1999
This paper explores the trade-off between economic growth and environmental quality along two paradigms of endogenous growth theory: variety expansion (HIP) and quality improvements (VIP). We compare the policies that match the decentralised economies' paths with the optimal "strong sustainable"...

Induced Technological Change under Technology Competition
Gerlagh, Reyer - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003
We develop a partial one-sector model with capital, natural resources, and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through research. Production exhibits increasing returns to scale. We compare the response of output and resource use to a change in resource prices with...

A Climate-Change Policy Induced Shift from Innovations in Energy Production to Energy Savings
Gerlagh, Reyer - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
We develop an endogenous growth model with capital, labor and energy as production factors and three productivity variables that measure accumulated innovations for energy production, energy savings, and neutral growth. All markets are complete and perfect, except for research, for which we...

Induced Technological Change Under Carbon Taxes
Gerlagh, Reyer; Lise, Wietze - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003
We develop an economic partial equilibrium model for energy supply and demand with capital and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through learning by research and learning by doing. Our model reproduces the learning curve typical for (bottom-up) energy system...

Time Profile of Climate Change Stabilization Policy
Gerlagh, Reyer; Hofkes, Marjan W. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
We develop an economic model for fossil-fuel and carbon-free energy supply and demand with capital and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through learning by research and learning by doing. We use the model to study inter-temporally efficient carbon taxes for...

Human Capital, Innovation, and Climate Policy: An Integrated Assessment
Carraro, Carlo; Cian, Enrica De; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
This paper looks at the interplay between human capital and innovation in the presence of climate and educational … moderate, short-term consumption loss. Human capital is complement to all forms of innovation and an educational policy … stimulates both energy and general purpose innovation. This result has important policy implications considering the growing …

Environmental Regulation and Competitiveness: Empirical Evidence on the Porter Hypothesis from European Manufacturing Sectors
Rubashkina, Yana; Galeotti, Marzio; Verdolini, Elena - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
environmental regulation on innovation and on productivity generally in separate analyses and mostly focusing on the USA. The few … existing studies focusing on Europe investigate the effect of environmental regulation either on green innovation or on … performance indicators such as exports. We instead look at overall innovation and productivity impact that are the most relevant …
