About the Talk

Drawing on recent work on several geographies (including Europe, Australia, and developing countries), Dr. Steffen's presentation covers new insights on drivers for the choice of financing structures, on how the cost of capital depends on technology maturity and experience in the finance industry, as well on how policy instruments like state investment banks can be used effectively. He will also discuss ongoing research to include finance into energy system modeling, and implications for research on the low-carbon energy transition more generally.

A question-and-answer period, moderated by Valerie Karplus of MIT's Sloan School of Management, will follow the talk.
