Chapter 4: Long-term investment and endogenous technical progress: dynamic and vintage-type models
by Hans W. Gottinger
International Journal of Environment and Pollution (IJEP), Vol. 17, No. 5/6, 2002

Abstract: In this chapter, we set out to model the economic aspects of the CO₂ problem under endogenous technical progress (Romer, 1990). Such models appear more natural and provide increased flexibility and realism for policy-making purposes. We begin with a comparison of the models with those developed in Chapter 2. The analysis considers possible long-run equilibrium solutions and possible approach paths to equilibrium. We present a solution for a constant, long-term growth path of the model and an examination of the effects of parameters on the ratio of ‘knowledge’ to capital and on the growth rate along this path.
