The learning process and technological change in wind power : evidence from China's CDM wind project

Tang, Tian; Popp, David - 2014

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a project-based carbon trade mechanism that subsidizes the users of climate-friendly technologies and encourages technology transfer. The CDM has provided financial support for a large share of Chinese wind projects since 2002. Using pooled...

Distribution and growth in an economy with limited needs

Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2001

This paper studies a model of the distribution of income under bounded needs. Utility derived from any given good reaches a bliss point at a finite consumption level of that good. On the other hand, introducing new varieties always increases utility. It is assumed that each variety is owned by a...

Endogenous business cycles and growth

Wälde, Klaus - 2003

Current explanations why a growing economy necessarily goes through booms and recessions predict countercyclical R&D investment. As this is very controversial from an empirical perspective, a stochastic Poisson model of endogenous business cycles and growth is presented where the determinants of...

Technological transfers in global climate policy

Buchholz, Wolfgang; Dippl, Lisa; Eichenseer, Michael - 2015 - This version: September 30, 2015

Theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that leadership behavior in climate policy through increased abatement efforts or international transfers cannot be expected to be very successful. In this paper we instead show that pioneering activities, which are based on green technological...

Foreign ownership and skillbiased technological change

Koch, Michael; Smolka, Marcel - 2018

We conduct an empirical investigation into the effects of foreign ownership on worker skills using firm-level data from Spain. To control for endogeneity bias due to selection into foreign ownership, we combine a difference-in-differences approach with a propensity score weighting estimator. Our...
