英文摘要:
Conventional economic analysis of stringent climate change mitigation policy generally concludes various levels of economic slowdown as a result of substantial spending on low carbon technology. Equilibrium economics however could not explain or predict the current economic crisis, which is of financial nature. Meanwhile the economic impacts of climate policy find their source through investments for the diffusion of environmental innovations, in parts a financial problem. Here, we expose how results of economic analysis of climate change mitigation policy depend entirely on assumptions and theory concerning the finance of the diffusion of innovations, and that in many cases, results are simply re-iterations of model assumptions. We show that, while equilibrium economics always predict economic slowdown, methods using non-equilibrium approaches suggest the opposite could occur. We show that the solution to understanding the economic impacts of reducing greenhouse gas emissions lies with research on the dynamics of the financial sector interacting with innovation and technology developments, economic history providing powerful insights through important analogies with previous historical waves of innovation.

中文摘要:
对严格的气候变化缓解政策进行的常规经济分析通常得出结论,由于在低碳技术上的大量支出,经济放缓的程度各不相同。然而,均衡经济学无法解释或预测当前的金融危机。与此同时,气候政策的经济影响通过对环境创新扩散的投资找到了来源,这在一定程度上是一个财政问题。在这里,我们揭示了气候变化缓解政策的经济分析结果如何完全依赖于有关创新扩散资金的假设和理论,在许多情况下,结果只是模型假设的重新迭代。我们表明,虽然均衡经济学总是预测经济放缓,但使用非均衡方法的方法表明,可能会发生相反的情况。我们表明,理解减少温室气体排放的经济影响的解决方案在于研究金融部门与创新和技术发展相互作用的动态,经济史通过与以往创新浪潮的重要类比提供了有力的见解。
