Model-based financial regulations impair the transition to net-zero carbon emissions
Gasparini, M., Ives, M.C., Carr, B. et al. Model-based financial regulations impair the transition to net-zero carbon emissions. Nature Climate Change (2024). Abstract Investments via the financial system are essential for fostering the green transition. However, the role of existing financial regulations in influencing investment decisions is understudied. Here we analyse data from the European Banking Authority to show…

Empirically grounded technology forecasts and the energy transition
Way, R., Ives, M.C., Mealy, P., & Farmer, J. D. (2022). Empirically grounded technology forecasts and the energy transition, Joule Abstract Rapidly decarbonizing the global energy system is critical for addressing climate change, but concerns about costs have been a barrier to implementation. Most energy-economy models have historically underestimated deployment rates for renewable energy technologies and overestimated their costs.…
