Climate Change and Technical Progress: Impact of Informational Constraints

Climate Change and Technical Progress: Impact of Informational Constraints

In this paper we analyse a growth model that includes environmental and economic variables as well as technological progress under different informational constraints on the behavior of economic agents. To simulate the informationally constrained economy, we make use of the non-linear model predictive control technique. We compare models with exogenous and endogenous technical change as well as...

Directed Technical Change, Unilateral Actions, and Climate Change

In this paper, I investigate the implications of policy-induced technological change based on a multi-region variant of the directed technical change model developed by Acemoglu et al. (2012). On top of the pollution externality accompanied by carbon dioxide emission, different regions are connected through a global market where energy-related machine producing firms monopolistically compete wi...

The Impact of Bio-Ethanol Conversion and Global Climate Change on Corn Economic Performanve of Indonesia

Many studies conclude that the rise in global food prices due to higher demand from the development of biofuels, climate anomalies, and increased of oil prices. Not only the food commodity index rose more than 60 percent, nonfood commodity price index also rose over 60 percent and crude oil price index has increased even further above 60 percent. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impa...
