Policy implications of resource constraints on the European economy
Kratena, Kurt; Sommer, Mark - 2014
It is expected that binding biophysical constraints have the potential to slow growth and impede the improvement of other key macroeconomic variables. Using a DYNK (Dynamic New Keynesian) model of the EU27, we study two different environmental policy options and evaluate their impact on...

Towards an operational measurement of socio-ecological performance
Kettner, Claudia; Köppl, Angela; Stagl, Sigrid - 2014
Questioning GDP as dominant indicator for economic performance has become commonplace. For economists economic policy always aims for a broader array of goals (like income, employment, price stability, trade balance) alongside income, with income being the priority objective. The...

Achieving absolute decoupling? : comparing biophysical scenarios and macro-economic modelling results
Wiedenhofer, Dominik; Fischer-Kowalski, Marina - 2015
Most economic models struggle to incorporate biophysical relationships between materials, energy and emissions, in order to appropriately deal with biophysical constraints of supply (and possibly also demand). After the incorporation of biophysical constraints, some functions produced surprising...

The role of product and process innovation in CGE models of environmental policy
Baccianti, Claudio; Löschel, Andreas - 2014
to integrate endogenous technological progress. Nevertheless, several complexities of innovation are still neglected even … modelling literature through a special lens. We discuss how existing models deal with different types of innovation (i ….e. product and process innovation) and how differences in innovation activities influence modelling results. We also emphasise …

Large scale societal transitions in the past
Fischer-Kowalski, Marina; Hausknost, Daniel - 2013
WP 201 takes a historical perspective in analysing past systemic social-ecological transition processes. The research paper (MS 27) emerging from task 201.2 explores two major energy transitions of the past: the transition to the use of fossil fuels (e.g. starting with coal in the UK in the 17th...

Investment-specific vs process innovation in a CGE model of environmental policy
Baccianti, Claudio; Löschel, Andreas - 2015
The European Union has implemented demand push and technology pull policies to foster innovation on the energy and … rarely treats product and process innovation separately and product quality is, in the best case, exogenous. We develop a … dynamic multi-sector CGE model that distinguishes between R&D-based process innovation for all firms, endogenous product …
