Carbon lock-in : the role of expectations
Meijden, Gerard van der; Smulders, Sjak - 2014
We argue that expectations about future energy use affect the transition from fossil fuels to renewable substitutes, because of an interaction between innovation and resource scarcity. The paper presents a model of directed technical change to study this interaction. We find that resource-saving...
