摘要翻译:
增长理论很少考虑能量,尽管它在所有物理系统中都有看不见的手。我们发展了一个理论框架,将能量转移置于增长理论的中心阶段,基于两个原则:(1)货物是物质的重新安排;(2)这种重新安排是由原动机(如工人、发动机)转移的能量完成的。我们导出了这些原理对于一个自给自足的agent的含义,该agent在能量预算约束下使效用最大化,并在放松这种约束时使能量剩余最大化。这些问题的解决方案表明,增长是由能源产品(如大米、石油)的正边际能源剩余驱动的,但通过原动机积累实现的。这一观点在一个框架下提出了以前试图在增长理论中插入能量的几个结果,调和了经济学和自然科学,并为一般重新解释经济学和增长作为人类欲望和热力学过程之间的相互作用提供了基础。

英文摘要:
Growth theory has rarely considered energy despite its invisible hand in all physical systems. We develop a theoretical framework that places energy transfers at centerstage of growth theory based on two principles: (1) goods are material rearrangements and (2) such rearrangements are done by energy transferred by prime movers (e.g. workers, engines). We derive the implications of these principles for an autarkic agent that maximizes utility subject to an energy budget constraint and maximizes energy surplus to relax such constraint. The solution to these problems shows that growth is driven by positive marginal energy surplus of energy goods (e.g. rice, oil), yet materializes through prime mover accumulation. This perspective brings under one framework several results from previous attempts to insert energy within growth theory, reconciles economics with natural sciences, and provides a basis for a general reinterpretation of economics and growth as the interplay between human desires and thermodynamic processes.
