Ongoing research projects

Economic growth, energy use and the environment

The problem that motivates our project is the possible conflict between the policy goals of promoting economic growth while limiting energy consumption and environmental impact. Our study centers on the strength of this conflict and the extent to which technological progress may mitigate it.
