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. …

This paper analyses the adoption of energy-efficiency enhancing technologies by heterogeneous firms. The fact that … energy use does not only cause external environmental costs through pollution, but also directly affects the profitability of … energy use. The analysis focuses in particular on the efficiency of the market-led adoption and diffusion process under …

purpose we use an intermediate sector that builds putty-practically-clay capital consisting of an amalgam of energy and raw … complications of a full putty-clay model. In addition, we introduce an R&D sector that develops renewable and conventional energy … desire to counteract the upward pressure on production cost implied by a continuing price increase of conventional energy …

This paper deals with a conceptual framework allowing the analysis of long-run qualitative change in the energy system …. The energy sector seems to be particularly appropriate for the analysis of qualitative change due to the following reasons …: The energy sector is relevant for the development of the whole economy. When looking on the development of primary energy …
