Title: Induced technological change with applications to modeling of climate-change policies

Abstract

This grant supported research on induced innovation in the energy sector and the implications of induced innovation for climate change and climate-change policy. The first part of the research investigated the impact of energy prices on inventive activity focusing on the energy sector. The purpose was to improve our understanding of the determinants of inventive activity and to examine a number of hypotheses and specifications of the relationship. The second part incorporated the theoretical specifications and empirical results of the first part into the DICE integrated assessment models of climate change. This resulted in a revised model, known as the ''R&DICE model,'' and the major results are forthcoming in Grubler, Nakicenovic, and Nordhaus (GNN), ''Induced Technological Change and the Environment, Resources for the Future'', Washington, D.C., 2002, in a chapter entitled, ''Modeling Induced Innovation in Climate-Change Policy.''
