Energy Biased Technical Change: A CGE Analysis
Löschel, Andreas; Otto, Vincent M.; Dellink, Rob B. - 2005
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 technical change, and the economy. We derive the...
