If bioenergy has a less negative impact on the climate than fossil energy, it may be optimal to have a significant … increase in the use of bioenergy over time. Due to the difference in the way the climate is affected by the two types of energy …

considering heterogeneous energy efficiencies. By deriving first- and second-best rules for policy instruments including carbon … taxes, transfers and energy subsidies, we then investigate analytically how horizontal equity is considered in the social …. Our results show that energy-intensive households should receive more redistributive resources than energy …

-load technologies competes against a fringe of renewable energy (RE) generators. The optimal technology and electricity mix can be …

The existing economics literature neglects the important role of capacity in the production of renewable energy. To … fiill this gap, we construct a model in which renewable energy production is tied to renewable energy capacity, which then … allocation of energy, and which therefore comes at the cost of reduced general production. Requiring societal well-being to never …

To decarbonize the power sector policy-makers need to commit to long-term credible rules for climate and energy policy … renewable energy sources. Using a dynamic partial equilibrium model of the power sector, we show that commitment to state …

To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures … advanced and conventional renewable energy technologies and short and long-run EE investments. We incorporate both knowledge … spillovers and imperfections in the demand for energy efficiency. We conclude that some technology policies, particularly …
