DESCRIPTION:<img class="size-full wp-image-17461 alignright" src="http://www.lse.ac.uk/GranthamInstitute/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/350522.jpg" alt="350522" width="150" height="175" />The imperative to mitigate climate change challenges national economies to grow productivity while reducing fossil energy consumption. Yet no consensus has been reached in how far recent economic history proves these two goals to be compatible. This seminar investigates the correlation between the rates of change in labour productivity and the fossil energy-labour ratio in order to determine the direction of technical change with regard to fossil energy.
