This paper assesses the low-carbon economy in Asia: how large it is today and how well it will fare in the future …. Using patent and trade data, it analyzes the potential of Asian economies to capture value from the design and export of low-carbon … technologies, acknowledging that these are only two dimensions of a multidimensional low-carbon economy. It conducts country …

The aim is to measure and understand the long-term factors behind trends in energy and carbon intensity in different … economies and how improvements in energy efficiency diffuse globally. Of particular interest is the rate of diffusion from …

A considerable amount of research has shown that a carbon tax combined with research subsidies may be regarded as … optimal policy for encouraging the spread of low-carbon technologies for the benefit of society. The paper exploits the … important differences between Japanese and US energy firms: lower elasticity of the innovation production function in R …

A considerable amount of research has shown that carbon tax combined with research subsidy may be regarded as optimal … policy for diffusing low carbon technologies. The paper exploits the macro economic approach of the endogenous growth models … US energy firms: lower elasticity of innovation production function in R&D expenditure, lower probability of a radical …

A considerable amount of research at the micro level has shown that that carbon tax combined with research subsidy may … be regarded as an optimal policy in view of diffusing low carbon technologies for the benefit of the society. The paper … estimates reveal several important differences across the Japanese and US energy firms: lower elasticity of innovation …

. Among our findings, we show that, in the absence of renewable energy sources and break-through technologies, meeting the … limit of a temperature increase of less than 2°C requires a carbon tax of more than 700 USD/tC by 2050, doubling by the end … greater the associated utility loss, the more society is willing to pay for a rising cost of carbon. The upward trend of the …

comparisons across regions. Thanks to the theoretical structure of the model, which considers energy as an explicit input factor …, we examine macroeconomic and energy indicators across regions. We find that a general slow down in economic growth is … needed to decrease emissions and keep temperature change within 2°C by the end of this century. Our results are embedded in a …

We assess the extent to which Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and R&D on this abatement technology are part of a … sector responsible for CCS. We show that two types of solutions exist: a renewable energy regime where current CCS technology … is only temporarily used but never further developed; and a fossil energy regime where CCS is part of a long term …
