Recent research by Professor Ian Sue Wing includes representing endogenous technological change in climate policy models through general equilibrium approaches. Findings include:
- The impact on the costs of GHG abatement of the accumulation and substitution of knowledge in an intertemporal setting.
- The effects of future markets and competition for inputs on the timing and rate of penetration of new energy supply technologies.
- The role of international capital goods trade in diffusing productivity to less-developed countries (LDCs), and the effect of such spillovers on LDCs’ economic growth and emissions.
