Environmental Regulation and the Cross-Border Diffusion of New Technology : Evidence from Automobile Patents
Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Perkins, Richard; Neumayer, Eric - 2014
We examine the impact of environmental regulation on the international diffusion of new technology through the patent …-border patent inflows of technologies developed to comply with these standards. Our analysis, based on a research design of country … matters for cross-border patent inflows: the flow of compliance technologies rises when regulatory standards in the inventor …

Vintage-Differentiated Environmental Regulation
Stavins, Robert N. - 2007
Vintage-differentiated regulation (VDR) is a common feature of many environmental and other regulatory policies, wherein standards for regulated units are fixed in terms of the units' respective dates of entry, with later entrants facing more stringent regulation. In the most common application,...

The chicken or the egg: technology adoption and network infrastructure in the market for electric vehicles
Delacrétaz, Nathan; Lanz, Bruno; Dijk, Jeremy van - 2020 - This version: June 2020
We document non-linear stock effects in the relationship linking emerging technology adoption and network infrastructure increments. We exploit 2010-2017 data covering nascent to mature electric vehicle (EV) markets across 422 Norwegian municipalities together with two complementary...

Taxes, Permits, and the Diffusions of a New Technology
Coria, Jessica - 2008
This study looks at the effects of the choice between taxes and permits on the pattern of adoption of a new (pollution) emissions abatement technology. It uses a dynamic setting, where the regulator observes the arrival and initial use of the technology and determines the optimal ex-post amount...

Does more stringent environmental regulation induce or reduce technology adoption? : When the rate of technology adoption is inverted u-shaped
Perino, Grischa; Requate, Tilman - 2012
We show that for a broad class of technologies the relationship between policy stringency and the rate of technology adoption is inverted U-shaped. This happens when the marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves of conventional and new technologies intersect, which invariably occurs when emissions...

Socioeconomic inequality in low-carbon technology adoption
Burlinson, Andrew; Davillas, Apostolos; Giulietti, Monica - 2023
The widespread consumer adoption of low-carbon technologies (LCTs) is a cornerstone of net zero targets worldwide, however LCTs may not be equally distributed across socioeconomic characteristics. Our paper contributes to the literature by exploring socioeconomic inequality in LCT adoption and...
