This paper sets out a simple spatial model of energy exploitation to ask how the location and productivity of energy … resources may affect the distribution of economic activity around the globe. We combine elements from resource and energy … economics into one framework linking the spatial productivity of energy resources (both renewable and non-renewable) to the …

We develop a spatial model of energy exploitation where energy sources are differentiated by their geographic location … and energy density. The spatial setting creates a scaling law that magnifies the importance of differences across energy … plays must first boom and then bust. For both renewable and non-renewable energy sources we link the size of exploitation …

that climate policy stimulates a dedicated form of energy-knowledge without reducing generic R&D investments. Since … advancements in labour productivity have a negative impact on the environment because labour is assumed to be complement to energy …
