Are clean technology and environmental quality conflicting policy goals?
Bréchet, Thierry; MEUNIER, Guy - Department of Economics, European University at St. … - 2012
In this paper we analyze the effects of an environmental policy on the diffusion of a clean technology in an economy where firms compete on the output market. We show that the share of adopting firms is non-monotonic with the stringency of the environmental policy, and that the adoption of the...

Incentives to invest in abatement technology. A tax versus emissions trading under imperfect competition
Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid - 2010
In the longer run, effects on R&D and the implementation of advanced abatement technology may be at least as important as short-run cost effectiveness when we evaluate public environmental policy. In this paper, we show that the number of firms that adopt advanced abatement technology could be...

Incentives for environmental R&D
Greaker, Mads; Hoel, Michael - 2011
Since governments can influence the demand for a new abatement technology through their environmental policy, they may be able to expropriate innovations in new abatement technology ex post. This suggests that incentives for environmental R&D may be lower than the incentives for market goods...
