Chapter 21. Energy, the Environment, and Technological Change
Popp, David; Newell, Richard G.; Jaffe, Adam B. - 2010
Within the field of environmental economics, the role of technological change has received much attention. The long-term nature of many environmental problems, such as climate change, makes understanding the evolution of technology an important part of projecting future impacts. Moreover, in...

On backstops and boomerangs : environmental R&D under technological uncertainty
Goeschl, Timo; Perino, Grischa - 2007
The literature on environmental R&D frequently studies innovation as a two-stage process, with a single R&D event leading from a conventional polluting technology to a perfectly clean backstop. We allow for uncertainty in innovation in that the new technology may turn out to generate a new...

Impact of Trade in Environmentally Preferable Products and Clean Technologies on Economic Growth and Environmental Quality : Empirical Analysis in Developing Countries and in OECD...
Ben Zineb, Selima - 2019
The aim of this paper is to estimate the indirect and the direct effects of trade in Environmentally Preferable Products and Clean Technologies (called “Class B” lists) on air quality for a number of developed and developing during the period 1996-2012 and 2005-2012 (through environmental...

Emission pricing and capital replacement : evidence from aircraft fleet renewal
Jong, Gerben de - 2022
This paper empirically studies how emission pricing affects capital replacement and adoption of embodied environmental technology. A pricing policy encourages firms to accelerate retirement of old capital assets and replace them with newer more efficient assets, but this may crowd out...

Optimal pollution control in a mixed oligopoly with research spillovers
Haruna, Shoji; Goel, Rajeev K. - 2018
We study optimal pollution abatement under a mixed oligopoly game when firms engage in emissions-reducing R&D that is imperfectly appropriable. The regulator uses a tax to curb emissions. Results show that in a mixed oligopoly, the public firm has positive emissions reduction in equilibrium;...

Endogenous growth, green innovation and GDP deceleration in a world with polluting production inputs : conference paper
Burghaus, Kerstin; Funk, Peter - 2013 - This version: August 22nd, 2013, work in progress
We study economic growth and pollution control in a model with endogenous rate and direction of technical change. Economic growth (growth of real GDP) results from growth in the quantity and productivity of polluting intermediates. Pollution can be controlled by reducing the pollution intensity...

Non-Separable Pollution Control : Implications for a CO2 Emissions Cap and Trade System
Agee, Mark D.; Atkinson, Scott; Crocker, Thomas D.; … - 2015
The federal government now confronts considerable political pressure to add CO2 to the existing set of criteria air pollutants. As with current criteria pollutants, proposals call for control of CO2, assuming that the control of the each of the three criteria pollutants is separable from the...
