Embodied and induced technical change and the price of carbon
Kurt KratenaMichael Wueger
Literature: embodied and induced technical change• Models increasingly integrate features of endogenous technical
change:
WITCH (Bosetti et al., 2006), CGE (Otto, Loeschel and Reilly, 2008)
• Endogenous innovation: (i) energy saving R&D, (ii) learning by doing for carbon-free technologies
• Popp (2002): energy saving innovation, Sue Wing (2006): technical change induced by climate policy climate policy creates the cost savings of it’s own measures
Critical issues and questions
• Induced innovation or diffusion of (existing) technologies?
• Difference between substitution of factors (for example K and E) and technical change (Binswanger and Ruttan, 1978 and Sue Wing, 2006)
• Are K and E substitutes or complements ? Does embodied and induced technical change only work with K and E substitutability ?
Technical change in E3 modelling
K,L,E,M (Translog) model of production with embodied and induced technical change
• Factor bias & TFP (Binswanger and Ruttan, 1978; Jorgenson and Fraumeni, 1981, Jorgenson, 1984)
• Embodied technical change (Berndt, Kolstad and Lee,1993; Sue Wing and Eckaus, 2007)
• From embodied to induced technical change: K as short-run fixed factor plus investment function (first results with EUKLEMS data in Kratena, 2007)
• Model of dynamic factor demand (Pindyck and Rotemberg, 1983): forward looking, but no explicit adjustment costs
• Application to WIOD data (YL files, environmental satellites accounts) combining with EUKLEMS (release March 2008, including energy inputs) and IEA Energy Prices and Taxes
Technical change in E3 modelling
Dynamic factor demand model: general• Dynamic cost functions with short-run variable costs VC (prices pv of
variable factors L, E, M), investment costs (K = capital stock, pI = investment price), gross output Q, labour L (second nest: different skills) , energy E, TFP, returns to scale and technical change bias
• Shephard’s Lemma and Euler condition:
• Euler condition without explicit adjustment costs just states that the shadow price of K equals the user costs of K.

Capital stock adjustment and energy
•Forward looking adjustment of K to K*:
•Investment function (non-constant returns to scale)
•Input-output spill-overs of technical change through production of capital goods:
p = VC/Q + pKK/Q
•With Bij as the investment matrix (industries * commodities) for imports (MB) and domestic deliveries

Estimation methodology• Balanced panel for: AUT, DNK, FIN, NLD, GB, from 1980-2006
• GMM estimation with lagged exogenous (factor prices, output, capital stock, depreciation rate, rate of return) as instruments the expectation of K*t+1 is determined by all information in t capital stock adjustment can be due to expectation errors or shocks
• Estimating the full system with VC-function, factor demand for L and E and investment function ( log Kt+1) for non-constant and constant returns to scale
• Deriving returns to scale, own price elasticities, capital/energy and capital/labour elasticities (calculating shadow price of K), as well as long-run elasticities of E
• Restrictions: homogeneity, symmetry and concavity of the cost function (individual, for ‘problem cases’)
Dynamic factor demand model
Data from WIOD, EUKLEMS and IEA (energy prices)• Energy inputs in physical units (TJ) by about 20 energy carriers from
WIOD environmental accounts
• IEA Energy Prices and Taxes for most of the energy carriers/countries (estimating missing data to fill gaps)
• Constructing an aggregate energy input in current prices (pE *E), volumes (E), and price of energy pE. The volume measure is based on aggregation of energy contents effective input (‘energy services’ like ‘labour servives’ and ‘capital srvices’ in EUKLEMS)
• Capital stock, GFCF deflators, depreciation rate (capital input files from EUKLEMS), benchmark interest rate (EUROSTAT), deflated with VA deflator (YL files, WIOD) user costs pI(r + )
• ‘Labour services’ (L) , compensation of employees from (pL*L) price of labour (pL) , data from YL files, WIOD
Dynamic factor demand model
Estimation results: non-constant returns to scale
25 parameters out of 91 are insignificant

Estimation results: embodied and induced technical change
• Two industries with embodied energy saving technical change in the case of non-constant returns to scale, but not with constant returns: pulp and paper/printing, electrical and optical equipment
• Are non-constant returns to scale an additional source of technical change? (some industres with decreasing returns !)
• Main disadvantage of this approach:
• (Price) induced technical change is only possible, when K and E are substitutes and investment reacts positive to energy price shocks further reduction of number of industries with embodied plus induced energy saving technical change
Dynamic factor demand model
Estimation results: long-run price elasticities of E
Starting point: industries with embodied energy saving technical change
Is there also induced energy saving technical change ? =
Is the long-run price elasticity of E higher than the short-run ?

Non-constant returns to scale
Starting point: industries with embodied energy saving technical change: pulp and paper/printing, chemicals, rubber and plastics, basic metals and fabricated metal, machinery, electrical and optical equipment
Long-run elasticity of E (EE) > short-run elasticity (EE) = induced technical change: pulp and paper/printing, chemicals, rubber and plastics, machinery

Conclusions and Future Research
Conclusions• Dynamic Translog factor demand model allows for diverse
sources/types of technical change: returns to scale, TFP, factor bias, embodied and induced technical change.
• Technical change/progress is only partly energy saving, also for embodied technical change
• Disadvantage: embodied technical change is only energy saving, if E and K are substitutes induced technical change is only energy saving, if E and K are substitutes plus if investment reacts positively to energy prices.
Future research• Allowing for embodied technical change in the case that E and K are
complements vintage model for aggregate K.
