Energy intensity, growth and technical change
Shanker, Akshay - 2018
World and U.S. energy intensities have declined over the past century, falling at an average rate of approximately 1.2–1.5 percent a year. The decline has persisted through periods of stagnating or even falling energy prices, suggesting the decline is driven in large part by autonomous...

Estimation of sectoral elasticities of substitution along the international technology frontier
Baccianti, Claudio - 2013
Sectoral heterogeneity is crucial to address several economic questions. This paper provides a detailed mapping of sectoral production possibility frontiers, using different nesting structures and levels of aggregation (primary, secondary, tertiary activities and energy-intensive firms)....

Directed Technical Change and Energy Intensity Dynamics : Structural Change vs. Energy Efficiency
Haas, Christian - 2019
This paper uses a model with Directed Technical Change to theoretically analyse observable heterogeneous energy intensity developments. Based on the empirical evidence, we decompose changes in aggregate energy intensity into structural changes in the economy (structural effect) and within-sector...

The WITCH Model : Structure, Baseline, Solutions
Bosetti, Valentina; Massetti, Emanuele; Tavoni, Massimo - 2012
WITCH - World Induced Technical Change Hybrid - is a regionally disaggregated hard link hybrid global model with a neoclassical optimal growth structure (top down) and a detailed energy input component (bottom up). The model endogenously accounts for technological change, both through learning...

The Problem of Non-Renewable Energy Resources in the Production of Physical Capital
Perez Barahona, Agustin - 2014
This paper studies the possibilities of technical progress to deal with the growth limit problem imposed by the usage of non-renewable energy resources, when physical capital production is relatively more energy-intensive than consumption. In particular, this work presents the conditions under...

The Role of Energy in the Industrial Revolution and Modern Economic Growth
Stern, David I.; Kander, Astrid - 2011
The expansion in the supply of energy services over the last couple of centuries has reduced the apparent importance of energy in economic growth despite energy being an essential production input. We demonstrate this by developing a simple extension of the Solow growth model, which we use to...
