Employment changes in environmentally innovative firms
Rennings, Klaus; Ziegler, Andreas; Zwick, Thomas - 2001
This paper analyses the determinants of employment reactions induced by environmental innovations. On the basis of the parameter estimates of the Multinomial Logit and of several Multinomial Probit Models, we show that we have to distinguish between the factors that have an impact on employment...

Elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty energy inputs : a macroeconomic perspective
Papageorgiou, Chris; Saam, Marianne; Schulte, Patrick - 2013
Recently Acemolgu, Aghion, Bursztyn and Hemous (AER 2012) formulated a model in which a high macroeconomic elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty production represents a crucial condition for green growth. Until now it has never been systematically estimated. Using a novel panel of...

Economic implications of alternative allocation schemes for emission allowances : a theoretical and applied analysis
Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2003
Political feasibility of emission trading systems may crucially depend on the free initial allocation of emission allowances to energy-intensive industries in order to ameliorate adverse production and employment effects. We investigate the potential trade-off between such compensation and...
