Non-equilibrium time-dependent solution to discrete choice with social interactions
James Holehouse, Hector Pollitt
We solve the binary decision model of Brock and Durlauf in time using a method reliant on the resolvent of the master operator of the stochastic process. Our solution is valid when…
Simulating the deep decarbonisation of residential heating for limiting global warming to 1.5C
Florian Knobloch, Hector Pollitt, Unnada Chewpreecha +2
Whole-economy scenarios for limiting global warming to 1.5C suggest that direct carbon emissions in the buildings sector should decrease to almost zero by 2050, but leave unanswere…
Environmental impact assessment for climate change policy with the simulation-based integrated assessment model E3ME-FTT-GENIE
J-F Mercure, H. Pollitt, N. R. Edwards +6
A high degree of consensus exists in the climate sciences over the role that human interference with the atmosphere is playing in changing the climate. Following the Paris Agreemen…
Integrated assessment modelling as a positive science: private passenger road transport policies to meet a climate target well below 2C
J. -F. Mercure, A. Lam, S. Billington +1
Transport generates a large and growing component of global greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change. Effective transport emissions reduction policies are needed in…
The role of money and the financial sector in energy-economy models used for assessing climate policy
H. Pollitt, J. -F. Mercure
This paper outlines a critical gap in the assessment methodology used to estimate the macroeconomic costs and benefits of climate policy. It shows that the vast majority of models…
Modelling complex systems of heterogeneous agents to better design sustainability transitions policy
J. -F. Mercure, H. Pollitt, A. M. Bassi +2
This article proposes a fundamental methodological shift in the modelling of policy interventions for sustainability transitions in order to account for complexity (e.g. self-reinf…
Complexity, economic science and possible economic benefits of climate change mitigation policy
J. F. Mercure, H. Pollitt, U. Chewpreecha +4
Conventional economic analysis of stringent climate change mitigation policy generally concludes various levels of economic slowdown as a result of substantial spending on low carb…
The dynamics of technology diffusion and the impacts of climate policy instruments in the decarbonisation of the global electricity sector
J. F. Mercure, P. Salas, A. Foley +4
This paper presents an analysis of climate policy instruments for the decarbonisation of the global electricity sector in a non-equilibrium economic and technology diffusion perspe…
