abstract: 'Climate protection policy and its analysis are pursued in the context of
other societal goals, among them the maintenance of economic growth and
high employment. Too often, however, analysis of energy and climate
policy does not realistically reflect technological conditions and the
dynamics of technological change. This tendency unnecessarily associates
the decline in energy consumption or carbon emissions with the decline
in national economic output or income. But there is ample prima facie
evidence to the contrary. Just as in the 19th century when the perceived
need to reduce labor inputs as part of the production process spurred
labor-saving technological progress, now the need to reduce energy (and
pollution) costs could spur innovation and diffusion of efficient and
clean energy technologies. This, in turn, can increase overall growth in
economic productivity. Energy technology analysts have identified many
such existing and near-term commercial technologies, as well as
innovations that can be foreseen beyond the immediate technological
horizon, which would become widely used if policies were developed to
overcome market and institutional barriers. This paper presents a
macroeconomic analysis for a set of policies that would induce the
adoption of more efficient and low-carbon technologies, and finds that
overall employment and economic output could be increased by small
amounts while significantly reducing carbon emissions. Published by
