The dynamic effects of income tax changes in a world of ideas

Cloyne, James; Martinez, Joseba; Mumtaz, Haroon; … - 2023

Using a narrative identification of US tax changes over the post-WWII period, we show that corporate income tax cuts foster R&D spending and innovation, leading to a persistent increase in aggregate productivity and output. In contrast, changes in the average personal income tax rate have mostly...

Taxes, innovation and productivity

Cloyne, James; Martinez, Joseba; Mumtaz, Haroon; … - 2024

Using a narrative identification of tax changes in the United States over the post-WWII period, we document that a temporary cut in corporate income tax rates leads to a long-lasting increase in innovation and productivity, whereas changes in personal income tax rates only have short-term...

Environmental regulations, market structure and technological progress in renewable energy technology : a panel data study on wind turbines

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

The environment and directed technical change

Acemoglu, Daron; Aghion, Philippe; Bursztyn, Leonardo; … - 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-Baltvilks, Jan; Verdolini, Elena; Tavoni, Massimo - 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 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 analytical...
