Fossil fuels, alternative energy and economic growth

Abstract: Present a theoretical framework of endogenous switching from fossil fuels to alternative energy driven by productivity differentials and consequent prices.General equilibrium endogenous growth framework and non-linear estimation of coefficients. The model depicts a hump shaped growth path that is analogous to a transition from energy rich "peak oil" heydey to alternative energy only world. The model thereby allows for quantitative comparisons of initial conditions, transition and terminal points along the growth path as well as determinants of alternative paths.
