Climate alpha and the global capital market

Golub, Alexander; Anda, Jon; Markandya, Anil; Brody, Michael - 2022

The way in which climate policy and climate risks are currently accounted for in financial and real investment decisions is inadequate. The paper demonstrates weaknesses in methods presently used and proposes an alternative that aims to bridge the duration gap between climate policy modeling and...

Long-term strategies for decarbonization in Latin America : learnings from actor-based insights into the drafting process

Calfucoy, Paulina; Torres Gunfaus, Marta; Fazekas, Andreas - 2022

Long-term Strategies for Decarbonization, termed long-term low emissions and development strategies (LT-LEDS) by the UNFCCC, and sometimes referred to as LTS, can influence the transition to a resilient and decarbonized economy. LT-LEDS additionally make it possible to identify investments and...

The macroeconomic effects of a carbon tax to meet the U.S. Paris Agreement target: the role of firm creation and technology adoption

Finkelstein Shapiro, Alan; Metcalf, Gilbert E. - 2021

We analyze the quantitative labor market and aggregate effects of a carbon tax in a framework with pollution externalities and equilibrium unemployment. Our model incorporates endogenous labor force participation and two margins of adjustment influenced by carbon taxes: firm creation and green...

Cournot competition and "green" innovation : an inverted-U relationship

Lambertini, Luca; Poyago-Theotoky, Joanna; Tampieri, … - 2015

We examine the relationship between competition and innovation in an industry where production is polluting and R&D aims to reduce emissions ("green" innovation). We present an n-firm oligopoly where firms compete in quantities and decide their investment in "green" R&D. When environmental...

Sensitivity to energy technology costs : a multi-model comparison analysis

Bosetti, Valentina; Marangoni, Giacomo; Borgonovo, Emanuele - 2015

In the present paper we use the output of multiple expert elicitation surveys on the future cost of key low-carbon technologies and use it as input of three Integrated Assessment models, GCAM, MARKAL_US and WITCH. By means of a large set of simulations we aim to assess the implications of these...

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...

The effects of startup acquisitions on innovation and economic growth

Fons-Rosen, Christian; Roldan-Blanco, Pau; Schmitz, Tom - 2022 - This version: December 9, 2022

Innovative startups are frequently acquired by large incumbent firms. On the one hand, these acquisitions provide an … startups just to "kill" their ideas, and acquisitions can erode incumbents' own innovation incentives. Our paper aims to assess … the net effect of these forces. To do so, we build an endogenous growth model with heterogeneous firms and acquisitions …
