Environmental regulation and innovation in renewable energy technologies : does the policy instrument matter?
Hille, Erik; Althammer, Wilhelm; Diederich, Henning - 2019 - Version February 24, 2019
We examine how different renewable energy support policies affect innovation in solar and wind power technologies. The analysis is conducted using policy and patent data for a large sample of 194 countries and territories. The policy data allows distinguishing two dimensions of regulation, i.e....
