Industrial Growth: Key Concepts Output Growth (old AND new products) relies on: • • • •
Economies of Scale Standardization Increasing Returns Technological Change (new materials/processes/products) leading to:
Cost Reductions

[email protected] Social Implications • Higher labor productivity • Rising wages • Reduced working time Mass production → mass consumption → “leisure class” (Veblen)

Environmental Implications • Amplification of traditional impacts (output growth related) • Novel impacts (DDT, CFCs,…) • Point-source (industrial plants) impacts amplified by disperse consumption and end-of-life impacts • But moderated by increased “decoupling” (relative “dematerialization”)

Industry: GtCO2 (incl. electricity)
[email protected] Industrial Emissions Reductions • Inherent incentive structure for cost minimization (=responsive to price signals, akin homo oeconomicus) • Locus for innovation and entrepreneur-ship (within sector but also across [spillovers]) • Globalized (=can/does relocate, potential emissions “leakage”) • Rel. importance (employment, GDP) declines with success (productivity growth)
