    RAS MS Hodgson 67. Missing Pages of the Hetubinduṭīkā by Arcaṭa

    No full text
    This paper contains the critical edition of eight passages of the manuscript Hodgson 67 kept in the Library of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland in London. The first passage is a new critical edition of the beginning portion of the Sthirasiddhidūṣaṇa by Ratnakīrti, namely the part covered by the first folio of the manuscript. The other seven passages are excerpts of the Hetubinduṭīkā by Arcaṭa. Excerpts 3–8 are particularly significant since they allow us to bridge the first six major lacunae of the printed text (pp. 5–6, 16, 20, 25, 48, and 117)

    The influence of economic growth, population, and fossil fuel scarcity on energy investments

    No full text
    This paper examines the dynamics of energy investments and clean energy Research and Development (R&D) using a scenario-based modeling approach. Starting from the global scenarios proposed in the RoSE model ensemble experiment, we analyze the dynamics of investments under different assumptions regarding economic and population growth as well as availability of fossil fuel resources, in the absence of a climate policy. Our analysis indicates that economic growth and the speed of income convergence across countries matters for improvements in energy efficiency, both via dedicated R&D investments but mostly through capital-energy substitution. In contrast, fossil fuel prices, by changing the relative competitiveness of energy sources, create an economic opportunity for radical innovation in the energy sector. Indeed, our results suggest that fossil fuel availability is the key driver of investments in low carbon energy innovation. However, this innovation, by itself, is not sufficient to induce emission reductions compatible with climate stabilization objectives
