Whenever feasible, optimal policies implement sustainable growth by directing global innovation to the nonpolluting … sector. If nonparticipants drive global innovation, this requires policies relocating clean production to nonparticipants. A …

We investigate how energy prices, market size and knowledge stocks affect firms' incentives to … margin innovation decision (i.e. whether to conduct innovation) from the intensive margin decision (i.e. how much to innovate …). Overall, we find that all three factors – energy prices, market sizes and past knowledge stocks - matter to redirect …
