摘要:We analyzed the hypothesis about the effectiveness of energy saving technologies to reduce the trade-off between economic growth and energy preservation. In a general equilibrium vintage capital model with embodied energy saving technical progress, we show that the success of energy saving technologies is questionable in a scenario of deceasing energy supply. Only constant returns to scale, with constant energy suply, yields long run growth.
