Nordhaus’ model is used to examine the consequences of climate policy interventions, for example carbon taxes.
- Paul M. Romer has integrated technological innovations into long-run macroeconomic analysis. Romer demonstrated how knowledge can function as a driver of long-term economic growth by his “endogenous growth theory” which explains how ideas are different to other goods and require specific conditions to thrive in a market. Romer’s theory has generated vast amounts of new research into the regulations and policies that encourage new ideas and long-term prosperity.
