On green growth with sustainable capital

Basu, Parantap; Jamasb, Tooraj - 2020

We develop an endogenous growth model to address a long standing question whether sustainable green growth is feasible by re-allocating resource use between green (natural) and man-made (carbon intensive) capital. Although the model is general we relate it to the UKís green growth policy...

Emerging through technological capability : an overview of India's technological trajectory

Ray, Amit Shovon (contributor) - 2008

India’s emergence in the world economy over the last decade, has often, in popular discourse, been attributed, at least to a large extent, to its sustained efforts towards technological learning and capacity building. In this paper we present an overview of India’s technological trajectory...

What should we expect from innovation? : a model-based assessment of the environmental and mitigation cost implications of climate-related R&D

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - 2010

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 complement carbon pricing (taxes or permit trading) and...

Optimal patentability requirements with fragmented property rights

Denicolò, Vincenzo; Halmenschlager, Christine - 2010

We study the effect of the fragmentation of intellectual property rights on optimal patent design. The major finding is … requirements should be stronger than in the case of stand-alone innovation. This reduces the fragmentation of intellectual property … should be generally higher than in the stand-alone case. -- Intellectual Property Rights ; Fragmentation ; Patent …

The role of R&D and technology diffusion in climate change mitigation : new perspectives using the witch model

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Duval, Romain; … - 2009

This paper uses the WITCH model, a computable general equilibrium model with endogenous technological change, to explore the impact of various climate policies on energy technology choices and the costs of stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations. Current and future expected carbon prices...

Nuclear versus coal plus CCS : a comparison of two competitive base-load climate control options

Tavoni, Massimo; Zwaan, Bob van der - 2009

In this paper we analyze the relative importance and mutual behavior of two competing base-load electricity generation options that each are capable of contributing significantly to the abatement of global CO2 emissions: nuclear energy and coal-based power production complemented with CO2...

Light duty vehicle transportation and global climate policy : the importance of electric drive vehicles

Bosetti, Valentina; Longden, Thomas - 2012

With a focus on establishing whether climate targets can be met under different personal transport scenarios we introduce a transport sector representing the use and profile of light domestic vehicles (LDVs) into the integrated assessment model WITCH. In doing so we develop long term projections...

Information and communication technology, agricultural profitability, and child labor in rural Peru

Beuermann, Diether W. - 2013

We estimate the impact of access to information and communication technology on agricultural profitability and child labor among isolated villages in rural Peru. We exploit the timing of an intervention that provided at least one public (satellite) payphone to 6,296 villages that did not...

Deviations in kilometres travelled : the impact of different mobility futures on energy use and climate policy

Longden, Thomas - 2012

The importance of a focus on mobility and the kilometres travelled using light duty vehicles is reflected in the persistence of strong demand for personal mobility and emissions that tend to be linked with population and economic growth. Simulation results using the WITCH model show that changes...
