Energy Effective Curvature
K_eff applied to clean-dirty energy substitution determines the pace and reversibility of the green transition.
Impact Score
Score Reasoning
- Importance
- Important application of K_eff to the green energy transition. Connects CES framework to a major policy domain but is an application rather than core theory.
- Novelty
- Applies the effective curvature framework to clean-dirty substitution. The CES framing adds structure but underlying two-factor substitution is well-studied in energy economics.
- Quality
- Clear application article with well-structured sections on transition gradient, lock-in, carbon pricing. Good policy relevance and accessible exposition.
