The Environment and Directed Technical Change: Comment

Hourcade, Jean-Charles; Pottier, Antonin; Espagne, Etienne - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

This paper discusses the growth model with environmental constraints recently presented in (Acemoglu et al., 2011) which focuses on the redirection of technical change by climate policies with research subsidies and a carbon tax. First, Acemoglu et al.'s model and chosen parameters yield...

REDD and International Organizations

Giannini, Valentina - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

Climate change mitigation can be achieved, according to many, by means of Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in the Tropics (REDD). Within the climate change policy debate we thus find discussions on how to reduce GHG emissions by designing appropriate REDD programmes...

Technology Spillovers Embodied in International Trade: Intertemporal, regional and sectoral effects in a global CGE

Cian, Enrica De; Parrado, Ramiro - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

This paper uses a dynamic CGE model to assess the intertemporal and spatial dimension of technology spillovers embodied in international trade within a climate and trade policy framework. Three are the main contributions of the study. First, to include endogenous factor-biased technical change...

Neoclassical Growth, Environment and Technological Change: The Environmental Kuznets Curve

Rubio, S.J.; García, J.R.; Hueso, J.L. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

The paper investigates socially optimal patterns of economic growth and environmental quality in a neoclassical growth model with endogenous technological progress. In the model, the environmental quality affects positively not only to utility but also to production. However, cleaner...

Sustainability of Urban Sprawl: Environmental-Economic Indicators for the Analysis of Mobility Impact in Italy

Travisi, Chiara M.; Camagni, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

Sound empirical and quantitative analysis on the relationship between different patterns of urban expansion and environmental or social costs of mobility are still very rare in Europe and the few studies available provide only a qualitative discussion on this. Recently, Camagni et al. (2002)...

Carbon-based Border Tax Adjustments and China’s International Trade: Analysis based on a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model

Tang, Ling; Bao, Qin; Zhang, ZhongXiang; Wang, Shouyang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

With large shares in global trade and carbon emissions, China’s international trade is supposed to be significantly affected by the proposed carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs). This paper examines the impacts of BTAs imposed by the USA and EU on China’s international trade, based on...

The Unilateral Implementation of a Sustainable Growth Path with Directed Technical Change

Bijgaart, Inge van den - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015

technical change framework. Unilateral policies alter the structure of production and thereby innovation incentives across … countries. Whenever feasible, optimal policies implement sustainable growth by directing global innovation to the nonpolluting … sector. If nonparticipants drive global innovation, this requires policies relocating clean production to nonparticipants. A …

The WITCH Model. Structure, Baseline, Solutions

Bosetti, Valentina; Massetti, Emanuele; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

WITCH – World Induced Technical Change Hybrid – is a regionally disaggregated hard-link hybrid global model with a neoclassical optimal growth structure (top-down) and a detailed energy input component (bottom-up). The model endogenously accounts for technological change, both through...
