What Drives the International Transfer of Climate Change Mitigation Technologies? Empirical Evidence from Patent Data

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; … - 2012

Using patent data from 66 countries for the period 1990–2003, we characterize the factors which promote or hinder the international diffusion of climate-friendly technologies on a global scale. Regression results show that technology-specific capabilities of the recipient countries are...

Invention and Transfer of Climate Change Mitigation Technologies on a Global Scale : A Study Drawing on Patent Data

Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Glachant, Matthieu; Hascic, Ivan - 2012

This paper uses the EPO/OECD World Patent Statistical Database (PATSTAT) to provide a quantitative description of the geographic distribution of inventions in thirteen climate mitigation technologies since 1978 and their international diffusion on a global scale. Statistics suggest that...

Carbon taxes, path dependency and directed technical change: Evidence from the auto industry

Aghion, Philippe; Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Hemous, David; … - 2012

Can directed technical change be used to combat climate change? We construct new firm-level panel data on auto industry innovation distinguishing between dirty (internal combustion engine) and clean (e.g. electric and hybrid) patents across 80 countries over several decades. We show that firms...

Environmental Policy and Directed Technological Change : Evidence from the European Carbon Market

Calel, Raphael; Dechezleprêtre, Antoine - 2014

The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) has aimed to encourage the development of low-carbon technologies … their patenting history and their regulatory status under EU ETS, we investigate the hypothesis that the EU ETS has … activities at the EPO since 2005, especially among EU ETS regulated companies during the Scheme's second phase. Naive estimates …
