Most energy systems models treat reductions of technology investment costs exogenously. In these models, investments may be postponed until the costs become low. This model behaviour is unreasonable, since early investments are necessary to realize the cost reductions, a phenomenon known as the expe

The main goal of this article is to determine whether cost reductions in different bioenergy systems can be quantified using the experience curve approach, and how specific issues (arising from the complexity of biomass energy systems) can be addressed. This is pursued by case studies on biofuelled
This paper investigates whether learning leads to &perfect foresight' in a growth model that might present local indeterminacy of perfect foresight equilibria. The paper asserts that, under some parametric conditions on technology and preferences, equilibria under the assumption of learning converge
