متن کاملEnergy Sector Innovation and Growth: An Optimal Energy Crisis∗
We study the optimal transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in a neoclassical growth economy with endogenous technological progress in energy production. Technological innovations maintain a fairly constant cost of fossil fuel energy even as increased exploitation raises mining costs. Nevertheless, the economy transitions to renewable energy once energy costs escalate after about 80% ...
متن کاملInput price risk and optimal timing of energy investment : choice between fossil - and biofuels ∗
We consider energy investment, when a choice has to be made between fossil fuel and biomass fired production technologies. A dynamic model is presented to illustrate the effect of the different degrees of input price uncertainty on the choice of technology and the timing of the investment. It is shown that when the choice of technology is irreversible, it may be optimal to postpone the investme...
