This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model … that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of … solution in which only technologies are developed that are appropriate for production of non-energy intensive goods. …
