Our socio-economic system, highly supported by the employment of energy, has resulted in an increase of greenhouse gas emissions along with other pollutants. Among others, road transportations, public electricity and heat production represent the key sources that mostly contribute to the raise...

This paper deals with the diffusion of innovations in a multi-technology setting. High up-front costs of adoption, heterogeneity among potential adopters, network interactions, information feedbacks and subsidy policies are reproduced by an agent-based percolation model of multi-technology...

This article applies the autocatalytic percolation model developed by Cantono and Solomon (2010) to the diffusion of environmental innovation. It contributes to the recent applied microeconomic diffusion literature by unveiling diffusion dynamics, by determining under what conditions is...

An obstacle to the widespread adoption of environmentally friendly energy technologies such as stationary and mobile fuel cells is their high upfront costs. While much lower prices seem to be attainable in the future due to learning curve cost reductions that increase rapidly with the scale of...

<italic>Dumping actions and anti-dumping policies were regularly on the political agenda for several years in the pre-World War I period in Europe and the United States. In Italy, politics, economic circles, and scholars were engaged in debate on whether to protect sensitive industries threatened by...</italic>
