Directed Technical Change With Capital-Embodied Technologies: Implications For Climate Policy
Lennox, James A.; Witajewski, Jan - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
We develop a theoretical model of directed technical change in which clean (zero emissions) and dirty (emissions-intensive) technologies are embodied in long-lived capital. We show how obsolescence costs generated by technological embodiment create inertia in a transition to clean growth....

Policies and Practices of Low Carbon City Development in China
Wang, Can; Lin, Jie; Cai, Wenjia; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
Globally as well as in China, cities have contributed to most of the economic output and have accordingly given rise to most CO2 emissions. In particular, given unprecedented urbanization, cities will play an even greater role in shaping energy demand and CO2 emissions. Therefore, cities are the...
