Optimal clean energy R&D investments under uncertainty

Marangoni, Giacomo; De Maere d'Aertrycke, Gauthier; … - 2017

The availability of technology plays a major role in the feasibility and costs of climate policy. Nonetheless, technological change is highly uncertain and capital intensive, requiring risky efforts in research and development of clean energy technologies. In this paper, we introduce a two-track...
