Policy-induced environmental technology and incentive efforts: Is there a crowding out?
Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
innovation is a crucial productivity driver, a potential crowding out of inventive efforts could increase the cost of mitigating …. However, we do not find negative effects on the number of ongoing R&D projects, investments in innovation-related fixed assets … or on the outcome of innovation projects. Likewise, for firms with subsidy-backed environmental innovations no crowding …

What drives WTP for energy efficiency when moving? Evidence from a Germany-wide household survey
Kesternich, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010
The political discussion on energy efficiency is focusing more and more on the building sector due to its susceptibility to potential market failures like the negative external pollution effects of CO2 emission. Using a discrete choice approach, this paper aims at deriving factors which increase...

Beyond national economy-wide rebound effects: An applied general equilibrium analysis incorporating international spillover effects
Koesler, Simon; Swales, Kim; Turner, Karen - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
This paper proposes that the national focus of energy 'rebound' studies should be extended to an international context in the presence of supra-national agreements such as EU 20-20-20. The potential for energy efficiency improvements in one nation to impact energy use in others means that...
