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...

Are ex ante and ex post licensing agreements useful instruments to lessen uncertainty in R&D?
Siebert, Ralph - 2013
In the last decades, technologies became more complex which increased the degree of uncertainty in R&D. To overcome the uncertainty, firms frequently engage in R&D collaborations, e.g., Research Joint Ventures (RJVs), and licensing agreements. While RJVs are well explored in the literature, very...

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...
