Research Topic
Estimation of the production function with a structural estimation approach and its application to environmental policy evaluation
Since the consequences of environmental policies such as carbon pricing are highly dependent on the carbon abatement potential of firms, it is important to understand it in advance. The objective of my research is to estimate the abatement potential of carbon for firms based on a production function that fully accounts for heterogeneity in production technology and energy efficiency across firms. Based on the empirical result, I will examine the effective design of environmental policies from an economic perspective.
