Topic lead: Alex Bowen<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This research topic extends the range of techniques used to study macroeconomic aspects of the transition to green growth, and allows more focus on the short-run implications of green-growth policies.<\/p>\n

More information<\/h2>\n

Our research strategy is to focus on two areas of enquiry: first, the interaction of business cycles, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change policies, using techniques drawn from time-series analysis and other empirical macroeconomic approaches; and, second, on the implications of ‘green’ policies for labour markets and public finance and the incidence of mitigation costs in different types of economy, using small analytical macro models.<\/p>\n

The initial research work will cover:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The ‘stylised facts’ about how emissions vary over business cycles in different types of economy;<\/li>\n
  2. Small analytical models of different representative\/idealised types of economy incorporating key features, especially (a) a more sophisticated treatment of labour markets than had been possible in input-output style ‘green jobs’ analyses, incorporating labour market and macroeconomic aspects commonly neglected in integrated assessment models, and, (b) the prospective arrival of a climate-change backstop technology;<\/li>\n
  3. The theoretical consequences in analytical economic growth models of switching to more labour-intensive energy technologies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
