The emissions reductions from the adoption of a new transportation technology depend on
the emissions from the new technology relative to those from the displaced technology. We …

We study a generous program to promote the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems
through subsidies on future electricity production, rather than through upfront investment …

Promoting plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) adoption through subsidies represents a commonly
used policy lever for decarbonizing the light-duty vehicle sector. However, it is unclear how …

Private sector innovation is critical to mitigating and adapting to climate change. This paper
studies innovation in solar energy technology, a key source of clean energy that has …

Renewable energy and battery storage are seen as complementary technologies that can
together facilitate reductions in carbon emissions. We develop and estimate a framework to …

Electric vehicles have a unique potential to transform personal transportation. We analyze
this transition with a dynamic model capturing falling costs of electric vehicles, decreasing …

Early deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) may likely cause a loss of efficiency in the
transportation system. However, after there are a sufficient number of such vehicles in the …

An increasing number of households installing solar panels and consuming the energy thus
produced raises two challenges for regulators: network financing and vertical equity. We …

We estimate the impact of a feed-in tariff (FIT) on wind power investment and emission
reductions in Germany from 1996–2010. We find that a 1€-cent/kWh increase in the FIT rate …

Although renewable energy (RE) has been developed technologically decades ago, urgent
demand of clean electricity is subject to power storage due to intermittency of wind and solar …
