Incentives for environmental R&D
Greaker, Mads; Hoel, Michael - 2011
Since governments can influence the demand for a new abatement technology through their environmental policy, they may be able to expropriate innovations in new abatement technology ex post. This suggests that incentives for environmental R&D may be lower than the incentives for market goods...

Fiscal and regulatory instruments for clean technology development in the European Union
Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Popp, David - 2015
This policy note investigates whether the current level of public support to environment-friendly technologies is sufficient to allow European countries to respond to the multiple challenges posed by climate change and other environmental concerns. We first lay out the justifications for...

International cooperation on climate-friendly technologies
Golombek, Rolf; Hoel, Michael - 2009
We examine international cooperation on technological development as a supplement to, or an alternative to, international cooperation on emission reductions. R&D should be increased beyond the non-cooperative level if (i) the technology level in one country is positively affected by R&D in other...

Non-cooperative and cooperative climate policies with anticipated breakthrough technology
Jaakkola, Niko; Ploeg, Frederick van der - 2018
Global warming can be curbed by pricing carbon emissions and thus substituting fossil fuel with renewable energy consumption. Breakthrough technologies (e.g., fusion energy) can reduce the cost of such policies. However, the chance of such a technology coming to market depends on investment. We...

Green technology adoption, complexity, and the role of public policy : a simple theoretical model
Dhami, Sanjit S. - 2023
We consider technology choices between green and brown technologies by firms. We use insights from complexity theory and also take account of true uncertainty in designing public policy. The green technology offers relatively higher returns to scale from adoption, and there are type-contingent...
