• A Comment on the Environment and Directed Technical Change 

      Greaker, Mads; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Discussion papers;713, Working paper, 2012-11)
      The major claim in Acemoglu, Aghion, Bursztyn & Hemous (2012) (AABH) is that subsidies for research and development of clean technologies are more important than carbon taxes when dealing with climate change. However, they ...
    • Directed technical change and the resource curse 

      Greaker, Mads; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Paper;No. 991, Working paper, 2022-09)
      The "resource curse" is a potential threat to all countries relying on export income from abundant natural resources such as fossil fuels. The early literature hypothesized that easily accessible natural resources would ...
    • Er særskilt støtte til "månelandingen" på Mongstad effektiv politikk? 

      Bye, Brita; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel; Jacobsen, Karl (Journal article, 2009)
      Regjeringens ”månelandingsprosjekt” innebærer at norske myndigheter gir særskilt støtte til forskning og utvikling av teknologier for karbonfangst og -lagring. I denne artikkelen drøfter vi om en slik selektiv virkemiddelbruk er ...
    • Er teknologipolitikk et egnet virkemiddel i den norske klimapolitikken? 

      Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)
      Omfattende teknologisk endring er avgjørende dersom verdenssamfunnet skal klare å begrense utslippene av klimagasser og dermed de globale klimaendringene. I denne artikkelen drøftes hvilken rolle den norske politikken ...
    • Forskning og utvikling i næringslivet : politiske intensjoner og valg av virkemidler 

      Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Journal article, 2008)
      Offentlig virkemiddelbruk for å øke den økonomiske veksten krever detaljert, tallfestet kjennskap til hvordan aktiviteter i bedriftene påvirker produktiviteten i og utenfor bedriftene selv. Denne analysen plasserer ...
    • An innovation and climate policy model with factor-biased technological change : a small, open economy approach 

      Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel; Jacobsen, Karl; Strøm, Birger (Rapporter;2008/22, Report, 2008)
      This report documents the model structure and empirical implementation procedures of a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model that includes induced technological change (ITC). The model is developed for ...
    • Klimapolitikk og teknologisk endring 

      Greaker, Mads; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Journal article, 2004)
      Nesten hele jordens kommersielle energiforsyning dekkes i dag av fossile brennstoffer. Ifølge anbefalingene fra FNs klimapanel må disse innen 50 år i stor grad erstattes av energikilder som ikke gir utslipp av klimagasser. For ...
    • Knowledge spillovers and the timing of R&D policy 

      Bjertnæs, Geir Haakon; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel; Jacobsen, Karl (Discussion Papers;635, Working paper, 2010)
      We analyze how knowledge spillovers influence the optimal timing of R&D policy. Using numerical simulations we find that optimal subsidies to R&D may be rising over time even when the returns to knowledge is decreasing. ...
    • Lock-in and the transition to hydrogen cars. When should governments intervene? 

      Greaker, Mads; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Discussion Papers;No. 516, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: The density of fuel filling stations influences consumers' utility of private car transport. Thus, to the extent that different modes of private transport require different fuels, there may exist a network ...
    • On R&D anf the undersupply of emerging versus mature technolgies 

      Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Discussion Papers;571, Working paper, 2008)
      An important policy question is whether research and development (R&D) in new, emerging technologies should be more subsidized than R&D in other more mature technologies. In this paper I analyze if innovation externalities ...
    • Teknologiutvikling, klima og virkemiddelbruk 

      Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel; Hatlen, Liv Mari (Rapporter;2009/28, Research report, 2009)
      Omfattende teknologisk endring er avgjørende dersom vi skal klare å begrense utslippene av klimagasser. Denne rapporten belyser hvilken rolle teknologipolitikk kan ha på klimaområdet både internasjonalt og nasjonalt, men ...
    • Timing of innovation policies when carbon emissions are restricted : an applied general equilibrium analysis 

      Heggedal, Tom-Reiel; Jacobsen, Karl (Discussion Papers;No. 536, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: This paper studies the timing of subsidies for environmental research and development (R&D) and how innovation policy is influenced by the costs of emissions. We use a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) ...
    • Welfare and growth impacts of innovation policies in a small, open economy. An applied general equilibrium analysis 

      Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Heggedal, Tom-Reiel (Discussion Papers;No. 510, Working paper, 2007)
      We explore how innovation incentives in a small, open economy should be designed in order to achieve the highest welfare and growth, by means of a computable general equilibrium model with R&D-driven endogenous technological ...
