Do we still need carbonIntensive capital when transitioning to a green economy?
Jin, Wei; Ploeg, Frederick van der; Zhang, Lin - 2020
This paper presents a two-sector green endogenous growth model to explore a mechanism that explains why carbon-intensive capital is not necessarily shut down during transition to a green economy. Without accumulating clean capital to offset carbon emissions, a tightening of climate regulation...

Green technology adoption and the business cycle
Bourgeon, Jean-Marc; Hovsepian, Margot - 2017
We analyze the adoption of green technology in a dynamic economy affected by random shocks where demand spillovers are the main driver of technological improvements. Firms' beliefs and consumers' anticipations drive the path of the economy. We derive the optimal policy of investment subsidy and...

Effects of green technology support policies on carbon dioxide emissions
Moessner, Richhild - 2024
This paper provides ex-post empirical evidence on the effects of green technology support policies, in comparison with other climate policies, on carbon dioxide emissions at the aggregate national level. The paper uses cross-country dynamic panel estimation for a sample of 38 countries over the...

Expanding the use of molten salt for renewable energy storage and the role of green technology policies
Moessner, Richhild - 2024
The transition to net zero carbon emissions necessary to limit global warming importantly involves greater use of renewable energies, especially solar energy, and scaling up renewable energy storage and generation. This paper discusses expanding the use of molten salt for renewable energy...

The transition to renewable energy
Mason, Charles F.; Chassé, Rémi Morin - 2018
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 becomes a form of capital. This capacity capital can be...

3-Step analysis of public finances sustainability : the case of the European Union
Afonso, António (contributor);  … - 2008
We use a 3-step analysis to assess the sustainability of public finances in the EU27. Firstly, we perform the SURADF specific panel unit root test to investigate the mean-reverting behaviour of general government expenditures and revenues ratios. Secondly, we apply the bootstrap panel...

Optimal emission-extraction policy in a world of scarcity and irreversibility
Prieur, Fabien; Tidball, Mabel; Withagen, Cees - 2011
This paper extends the classical exhaustible-resource/stock-pollution model with the irreversibility of pollution decay. Within this framework, we answer the question how the potential irreversibility of pollution affects the extraction path. We investigate the conditions under which the economy...
