The Price Impact of Joining a Currency Union : Evidence from Latvia

Cavallo, Alberto - 2014

consumption goods. We consider the case of Latvia, which recently dropped its pegged exchange rate and joined the euro zone. We … between Latvia and euro zone countries collapsed swiftly following entry to the euro. The percentage of goods with nearly … identical prices in Latvia and Germany increased from 6 percent to 89 percent. The median size of price differentials declined …

Transition to Clean Technology

Acemoglu, Daron - 2015

We develop a microeconomic model of endogenous growth where clean and dirty technologies compete in production and innovation—in the sense that research can be directed to either clean or dirty technologies. If dirty technologies are more advanced to start with, the potential transition to...

Self-Protection Investment Exacerbates Air Pollution Exposure Inequality in Urban China

Zheng, Siqi - 2015

Urban China's high levels of ambient air pollution both lowers quality of life and raises mortality risk. China's wealthy have the purchasing power to purchase private products such as portable room air filters that allows them to offset some of the pollution exposure risk. Using a unique data...

Green Technology Diffusion : A Post-Mortem Analysis of the Eco-Patent Commons

Contreras, Jorge L. - 2018

We revisit the effect of the “Eco-Patent Commons” (EcoPC) on the diffusion of patented environmentally friendly technologies following its discontinuation in 2016, using both participant survey and data analytic evidence. Established in January 2008 by several large multinational companies,...

Tax Policies for Low-Carbon Technologies

Metcalf, Gilbert E. - 2010

The U.S. tax code provides a number of subsidies for low-carbon technologies. I discuss the difficulties of achieving key policy goals with subsidies as opposed to using taxes to raise the price of pollution-related activities. In particular, subsidies lower the cost of energy (on average)...

Green Skills

Vona, Francesco - 2015

The catchword ‘green skills' has been common parlance in policy circles for a while, yet there is little systematic empirical research to guide public intervention for meeting the demand for skills that will be needed to operate and develop green technology. The present paper proposes a...

Environmental Preferences and Technological Choices : Is Market Competition Clean or Dirty?

Aghion, Philippe; Bénabou, Roland; Martin, Ralf; … - 2022

This paper investigates the joint effect of consumers' environmental concerns and product-market competition on firms' decisions whether to innovate “clean” or “dirty”. We first develop a step-by-step innovation model to capture the basic intuition that socially responsible consumers...

International Innovation and Diffusion of Air Pollution Control Technologies : The Effects of Nox and So2 Regulation in the Us, Japan, and Germany

Popp, David - 2021

Using patent data from the United States, Japan, and Germany, this paper examines both the innovation and diffusion of air pollution control equipment. Whereas the United States was an early adopter of stringent sulfur dioxide (SO2) standards, both Japan and Germany introduced stringent nitrogen...
