Energy taxes and endogenous technological change (Running Title: Energy taxes)
This paper studies the effects of a tax on energy use in a growth model where market structure is endogenous and jointly determined with the rate of technological change. Because this economy does not exhibit the scale effect (a positive relation between TFP growth and aggregate R&D), the tax has no effect on the steady-state growth rate. It has, however, important transitional effects that giv...

متن کاملInduced technological change under carbon taxes
We study changes in fossil fuel and non-fossil energy use and carbon dioxide emissions induced by carbon taxes. We develop a partial energy equilibrium model with capital and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through learning by doing and learning through research, distinguishing between private and public innovations. Our model reproduces the learning curves typi...
متن کاملEnvironmental Policy and Technological Change

This is partly because the environmental impacts of social activity are significantly affected by technological change, and partly because environmental policy interventions themselves create new constraints and incentives that a...

Since there is no point in keeping the reader in suspense, I shall argue that government policy plays a major role in influencing the rate of technological chang...
