The Role of Standards in Eco-innovation: Lessons for Policymakers
Vollebergh, Herman R. J.; van der Werf, Edwin - 2013
This paper aims to help policy makers identify how standards can contribute to the effective and cost-efficient development and deployment of eco-innovations (innovations that result in a reduction of environmental impact). To that end we discuss what standards are, how the process of...

Climate Agreements and Technology Policy
Hoel, Michael; Golombek, Rolf - 2004
We study climate policy when there are technology spillovers within and across countries, and the technology externalities within each country are corrected through a domestic subsidy of R&D investments. We compare the properties of international climate agreements when the inter-country...

Climate Policy under Technology Spillovers
Golombek, Rolf; Hoel, Michael - 2003
Technological development is likely to play an important role in curbing growth in greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore important to incorporate factors influencing technological change in climate policy analyses. This paper studies climate policy when there are technology spillovers...

Endogenous Technology and Tradable Emission Quotas
Hoel, Michael; Golombek, Rolf - 2006
We study an international climate agreement that assigns emission quotas to each participating country. Unlike the simplest models in the literature, we assume that abatement costs are affected by R&D activities undertaken in all firms in all countries, i.e. abatement technologies are...

The voracity effect and climate change: The impact of clean technologies
Benchekroun, Hassan; Chaudhuri, Amrita Ray - 2011
We show that a technological breakthrough that reduces CO2 emissions per output can exacerbate the climate change problem: countries may respond by raising their emissions resulting in an increase of the stock of pollution that may reduce welfare. Using parameter values based on empirical...

Working too much in a polluted world: A North-South evolutionary model
Antoci, Angelo; Borghesi, Simone - 2002
This paper examines a simple North-South growth model where negative externalities may contribute to reinforce economic growth. Agents' welfare depends on three goods in the model: leisure, a common access renewable natural resource (one in each hemisphere) and a non-storable consumption good....

The impact of international environmental agreements: The case of the Montreal Protocol
Swanson, Timothy; Mason, Robin - 2002
There has been a recent economic literature arguing that international environmental agreements (IEAs) can have no real effect, on account of their voluntary and self-enforcing nature. This literature concludes that the terms of IEAs are the codification of the noncooperative equilibrium, and...

Structural change and environmental Kuznets curves
Horbach, Jens - 2002
The Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis (EKC) postulates an inverted u-shaped curve between important pollutants and per capita GDP analogous to the relationship between in-come inequality and income per capita which has been analysed by Kuznets in 1955. The arti-cle focuses on an empirical...
