Popp, David - 2001

I use U.S. patent data from 1970 to 1994 to estimate the effect of energy prices on energy-efficient innovations. Using patent citations to construct a measure of the usefulness of the existing base of scientific knowledge, I consider the effect of both demand-side factors, which spur innovative...

An Assessment of the Energy-Efficiency Gap and its Implications for Climate-Change Policy

Gerarden, Todd D. - 2015

Improving end-use energy efficiency--that is, the energy-efficiency of individuals, households, and firms as they consume energy--is often cited as an important element in efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. Arguments for improving energy efficiency usually rely on the idea that...

Assessing the Energy-Efficiency Gap

Gerarden, Todd D. - 2015

Energy-efficient technologies offer considerable promise for reducing the financial costs and environmental damages associated with energy use, but these technologies appear not to be adopted by consumers and businesses to the degree that would apparently be justified, even on a purely financial...

Who is Exposed to Gas Prices? How Gasoline Prices Affect Automobile Manufacturers and Dealerships

Busse, Meghan R. - 2012

Many consumers are keenly aware of gasoline prices, and consumer responses to gasoline prices have been well studied. In this paper, by contrast, we investigate how gasoline prices affect the automobile industry: manufacturers and dealerships. We estimate how changes in gasoline prices affect...

Incorporating Micro Data into Differentiated Products Demand Estimation with PyBLP

Conlon, Christopher; Gortmaker, Jeff - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We provide a general framework for incorporating many types of micro data from summary statistics to full surveys of selected consumers into Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995)-style estimates of differentiated products demand systems. We extend best practices for BLP estimation in Conlon and...

Clean Growth

Arkolakis, Costas; Walsh, Conor - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We provide a spatial theory of clean growth to assess the global impact of the rise of renewable energy. We model the details of the combined production and transmission network of electricity ("the grid") that determine the supply and losses of energy in space. The local rate of clean energy...

Bitcoin and Carbon Dioxide Emissions : Evidence from Daily Production Decisions

Papp, Anna; Almond, Douglas; Zhang, Shuang - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

exploit daily variation in Bitcoin price as a natural experiment for an 86 megawatt coal-fired power plant with on …-site cryptomining. We find that carbon emissions respond swiftly to mining incentives, with price elasticities of 0.69-0.71 in the short …-run and 0.33-0.40 in the longer run. A $1 increase in Bitcoin price leads to $3.11-$6.79 in external damages from carbon …
