Energy efficiency dynamics and climate policy
Casey, Gregory; Gao, Yang - 2024
We study the effectiveness of climate change mitigation policies in reducing carbon emissions, focusing on the channel of economy-wide energy efficiency. Using U.S. data, we estimate impulse response functions (IRFs) that characterize how energy efficiency responds to energy price shocks....
