We compare the use of price-based policies or taxes, and quantity-based policies or quotas, for controlling emissions in a dynamic setup when the regulator...
BibTeX referenceElectrification of the Canadian Road Transportation Sector: A 2050 Outlook with TIMES-Canada
We use a newly developed bottom-up model of the entire Canadian energy system (TIMES-Canada) to assess potentials for electrification of the road transport s...
BibTeX referenceFully Endogenous Growth with Increasing Returns and Exhaustible Resources: Existence and Stability
First-generation R&D-based endogenous growth models have been criticized because they predict strong scale effects (growth rate proportional to the size of...
