Environmental Regulations, Market Structure and Technological Progress in Renewable Energy Technology - A Panel Data Study on Wind Turbines

Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Weiss, Pia - 2014

We study the impact of environmental regulations on the patent activities for wind turbines between 1980 and 2008. We explicitly control for energy market liberalisation and take a potential interaction between liberalisation and policy instruments into account. We find a strong and highly...

Improving the Energy-Efficiency of Buildings : The Impact of Environmental Policy on Technological Innovation

Noailly, Joëlle - 2015

This paper investigates the impact of alternative environmental policy instruments on technological innovations aiming to improve energy-efficiency in buildings. The empirical analysis focuses on three main types of policy instruments, namely regulatory energy standards in buildings codes,...

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...

Clean and Dirty International Technology Diffusion

Bosetti, Valentina; Verdolini, Elena - 2014

This paper investigates the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and Environmental Policies (EPs) on … clean (renewable) and dirty (fossil-based) technology diffusion from top-innovators. IPR protection and EPs are extensively … debated policy tools, as IPR protection addresses knowledge market failure, while EPs respond to pressing local and global …

Directed Technical Change and Climate Policy

Otto, Vincent M. - 2006

This paper studies the cost effectiveness of climate policy if there are technology externalities. For this purpose, we develop a forward-looking CGE model that captures empirical links between CO2 emissions associated with energy use, directed technical change and the economy. We find the...

The Environment and Directed Technical Change

Acemoglu, Daron - 2010

This paper introduces endogenous and directed technical change in a growth model with environmental constraints. A unique final good is produced by combining inputs from two sectors. One of these sectors uses "dirty" machines and thus creates environmental degradation. Research can be directed...

Directed Technological Change and Energy Efficiency Improvements

Witajewski, Jan - 2015

This paper applies the Directed Technical Change (DTC) framework to study improvements in the efficiency of energy use. We present a theoretical model which (1) shows that the demand for energy is shifted down by innovations in energy intensive sectors and (2) highlights the drivers of...

On the Mechanism of International Technology Diffusion for Energy Technological Progress

Jin, Wei - 2015

International diffusion of energy-saving technologies has received considerable attention in recent energy and climate economics studies. As a helpful methodological complement to the existing large-scale CGE/IAM–based modelling for energy and climate policy studies, this paper contributes to...

China's Pursuit of Environmentally Sustainable Development : Harnessing the New Engine of Technological Innovation

Jin, Wei - 2016

Whether China continues its business-as-usual investment-driven, environment-polluting growth pattern or adopts an investment and innovation-driven, environmentally sustainable development holds important implications for both national and global environmental governance. Building on a...

On the Mechanism of International Technology Diffusion for Energy Productivity Growth

Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014

International diffusion of advanced environment and energy-related technologies has received much attention in recent environmental economics studies. As a much needed complement to the “black box” complex numerical modelling, this paper contributes to developing a simple, intuitive...
