Clean and Dirty International Technology Diffusion
Bosetti, Valentina; Verdolini, Elena - 2014
This paper investigates the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and Environmental Policies (EPs) on clean (renewable) and dirty (fossil-based) technology diffusion from top-innovators. IPR protection and EPs are extensively debated policy tools, as IPR protection addresses...

What Should We Expect from Innovation? A Model-Based Assessment of the Environmental and Mitigation Cost Implications of Climate-Related R&D
Bosetti, Valentina - 2012
This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilisation objectives: i) Can … innovation policies be effective in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations? ii) To what extent can innovation policies … technical progress in the energy sector. We evaluate a range of innovation policies, both as a stand-alone instrument and in …

Capital Accumulation, Green Paradox, and Stranded Assets : An Endogenous Growth Perspective
Jin, Wei - 2019
The existing studies on Green Paradox and stranded assets focus on dirty exhaustible assets (fossil fuel reserves) and show that environmental regulations, by changing the costs of dirty inputs relative to clean ones, lead to replacements of the former by the latter and stranding of dirty assets...

The Unilateral Implementation of a Sustainable Growth Path with Directed Technical Change
van den Bijgaart, Inge - 2015
technical change framework. Unilateral policies alter the structure of production and thereby innovation incentives across … countries. Whenever feasible, optimal policies implement sustainable growth by directing global innovation to the nonpolluting … sector. If nonparticipants drive global innovation, this requires policies relocating clean production to nonparticipants. A …

Natural Resources, Economic Growth and Geography
González-Val, Rafael; Pueyo, Fernando - 2018
In this paper we discuss the relationship between economic growth and natural resources at a global level, taking into account geography. With this aim, our model integrates elements of the theories of endogenous growth, natural resources and new economic geography. We find that an increase in...

Environmental Policy, Education and Growth with Finite Lifetime : The Role of Abatement Technology
Pautrel, Xavier - 2010
This note shows that the assumptions about the abatement technology modify the impact of the environmental taxation (both the size and the “direction”) on the long-run growth driven by human capital accumulation à la Lucas (1988), when the source of pollution is private consumption and...

Mitigation Strategies and Costs of Climate Protection : The Effects of Etc in the Hybrid Model Mind
Edenhofer, Ottmar; Lessmann, Kai; Bauer, Nico - 2006
MIND is a hybrid model incorporating several energy related sectors in an endogenous growth model of the world economy. This model structure allows a better understanding of the linkages between the energy sectors and the macro-economic environment. We perform a sensitivity analysis and...

Accounting for Uncertainty Affecting Technical Change in an Economic-Climate Model
Bosetti, Valentina; Drouet, Laurent - 2006
The key role of technological change in the decline of energy and carbon intensities of aggregate economic activities is widely recognized. This has focused attention on the issue of developing endogenous models for the evolution of technological change. With a few exceptions this is done using...
