11 Climate Change: Is It More Predictable Than We Think?

Climate Change Policy Targets and the Role of Technological Change

In this paper, we present results of simulation experiments with the TIME-model on the issue of mitigation strategies with regard to greenhouse gases. The TIME-model is an integrated system dynamics world energy model that takes into account the fact that the system has an inbuilt inertia and endogenous learning-by-doing dynamics, besides the more common elements of priceinduced demand response...
