In particular, this paper analyses the energy investment and R …-term investment strategies for all available energy technologies are determined. The case of an unknown backstop energy technology is … objective. In this paper we use WITCH, a hybrid climate-energy-economy model, to obtain a quantitative assessment of some cost …

We present two models of the optimal investment decision in carbon capture and storage technology (CCS)—one where the … models investment costs are time dependent which adds an extra dimension to the decision problem. Our deterministic model … determine the optimal time to invest. We then analyse the effect of carbon price volatility on the optimal investment decision …

This paper expands on the panel GDP–energy cointegration modeling literature; it does so by using data disaggregated … along sectoral lines and adjusting energy consumption for the quality of the energy source (e.g., electricity is of higher … quality than oil, which is of higher quality than coal) in order to examine the role of energy quality in the five most energy …
