We study the effectiveness of climate change policy in a model with multiple non-renewable resources that differ in their carbon content. We find that, when allowing some time between announcement and implementation of a cap on carbon dioxide emissions, emissions from non-renewable energy...

We argue that the literature on the green paradox has largely ignored the demand side of the resource market, and that this side of the market may mitigate the size of an emissions increase in response to imperfect climate policies. These claims are informed by recent empirical findings. Our...

We analyze a multi-sector growth model with directed technical change where man-made capital and exhaustible resources are essen tial for production. The relative profitability of factor-specific innovations endogenously determines whether technical progress will be capital- or...
