Green paradox and directed technical change : the effect of subsidies to clean R&D

Daubanes, Julien; Grimaud, André; Rougé, Luc - 2013

We borrow standard assumptions from the non-renewable-resource-taxation and from the directed-technical-change literatures, to take a full account of the incentives to perform R&D activities in a dirty-resource sector and in a clean-resource-substitute sector. We show that a gradual rise in the...
