Energy consumption , technological progress and economic policy ∗
We rst provide an empirical study of the energy-saving technological progress on the ENERDATA database. Energy intensity is shown to decrease over the period 1971-1999 in OECD countries, indicating a signi cant energy-saving technical progress trend. We also show via semi-parametric partially linear estimations that: (i) this trend is positively correlated with the investment rate, and (ii) the...
متن کاملInduced Innovation and Energy Prices
This paper uses U.S. patent data from 1970 to 1994 to estimate the effect of energy prices on energy-efficient innovations. It focuses on both demand-side factors, which spur innovative activity by increasing the value of new innovations, and supply-side factors, such as scientific advancements that make new innovations possible. Using patent citations as a measure of the usefulness of the exis...
متن کاملIncomplete Data and Technological Progress in Energy Storage Technologies
Energy storage is an important topic as many countries are seeking to increase the amount of electricity generation from renewable sources. An open and accessible online database on energy storage technologies was created, incorporating a total of 18 energy storage technologies and 134 technology pages with a total of over 1,800 properties. In this database information on technical maturity, te...
متن کاملTechnological Revolutions and Stock Prices
During technological revolutions, stock prices of innovative firms tend to exhibit high volatility and bubble-like patterns, which are often attributed to investor irrationality. We develop a general equilibrium model that rationalizes the observed price patterns. The high volatility results from high uncertainty about the average productivity of a new technology. Investors learn about this pro...
متن کاملDiversity and Technological Progress
This paper proposes a tractable model to study the equilibrium diversity of technological progress and shows that equilibrium technological progress may exhibit too little diversity (too much conformity), in particular, foregoing socially bene cial investments in alternativetechnologies that will be used at some point in the future. The presence of future innovations that will replace current...
