Are Regional Systems Greening the Economy? the Role of Environmental Innovations and Agglomeration Forces
Antonioli, Davide; Borghesi, Simone; Mazzanti, Massimiliano - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
in Italy, an area rich of manufacturing districts. We analyse EIs drivers and effects on firms’ performances through a … two-step procedure. First, we look at the relevance of spatial levers, namely whether the agglomeration of EIs induces EIs … importance of spatial levers, the role of agglomeration turns out to be fairly local in nature: we find that spillovers are …

Inducing Low-Carbon Investment in the Electric Power Industry through a Price Floor for Emissions Trading
Brauneis, Alexander; Loretz, Michael; Mestel, Roland; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
Uncertainty about long-term climate policy is a major driving force in the evolution of the carbon market price. Since this price enters the investment decision process of regulated firms, this uncertainty increases the cost of capital for investors and might deter invest-ments into new...

Environmental Regulations, Market Structure and Technological Progress in Renewable Energy Technology — A Panel Data Study on Wind Turbines
Rübbelke, Dirk; Weiss, Pia - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
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...

Determinants of Environmental Innovation – New Evidence from German Panel Data Sources
Horbach, Jens - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2006
In most cases, empirical analyses of environmental innovations based on firm-level data relied on survey data for one point in time. These surveys, especially designed for the analysis of environmental innovations, are useful because they allow for the inclusion of many explanatory variables...

A Good Opening: The Key to Make the Most of Unilateral Climate Action
Bosetti, Valentina; Cian, Enrica De - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011
In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...

Competitiveness and Leakage Concerns and Border Carbon Adjustments
Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles....

Understanding the Consumption Behaviors on Electric Vehicles in China - A Stated Preference Analysis
Wu, Libo; Li, Changhe; Qian, Haoqi; Zhang, ZhongXiang - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
This paper examines how the different characteristics of both electric vehicles themselves and the consumers would influence the consumption behavior on electric vehicles. Data collection is based on the questionnaire design using the orthogonal experimental method and large-scale stated...

The Role of Standards in Eco-innovation: Lessons for Policymakers
Vollebergh, Herman R.J.; Werf, Edwin van der - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 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...

Environmental Research Joint Ventures and Time-Consistent Emission Tax
Ouchida, Yasunori; Goto, Daisaku - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
This paper presents an examination of the socially efficient formation of environmental R&D in Cournot duopoly in a setting where a regulator has no precommitment ability for an emission tax. The results reveal that if the environmental damage is slight, alternatively, given severe environmental...
