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...
