Energy efficiency and directed technical change : implications for climate change mitigation
Casey, Gregory - 2022
I build a quantitative model of economic growth that can be used to evaluate the impact of environmental policy interventions on final-use energy consumption, an important driver of carbon emissions. In the model, energy demand is driven by directed technical change. Energy supply is subject to...

Climate change expectations and endogenous economic growth in the DICE model
Ciesielski, Anna - 2019
This paper studies the investment based growth rate effects of climate change. The analysis is based on the Integrated Assessment Model DICE by Nordhaus (2008). I depart from the original model, in that endogenous investments into a knowledge stock drive economic growth. Due to a negative...

Growth and the ageing Joneses
Fisher, Walter H. (contributor); Heijdra, Ben J. (contributor) - 2008
We incorporate Keeping-up-with-the-Joneses (KUJ) preferences into the Blanchard-Yaari (BY) framework and develop, using an AK technology, a model of balanced growth. In this context we investigate status preference, demographic, and pension policy shocks. We find that a higher degree of KUJ...

Arcalean, Calin; Glomm, Gerhard; Schiopu, Ioana Cosmina - 2012
Regional income disparities have increased in many European countries recently, even as national and supra-national policy instruments were created to correct them. To explain these evolutions, we develop a two-region, two-sector model with migration and public investment in infrastructure and...

Capital-labor substitution, structural change and growth
Alvarez-Cuadrado, Francisco; Long, Ngo Van; Poschke, Markus - 2016 - This Draft: May 25, 2016
There is growing interest in multi-sector models that combine aggregate balanced growth, consistent with the well-known Kaldor facts, with systematic changes in the sectoral allocation of resources, consistent with the Kuznets facts. Although variations in the income elasticity of demand across...
