Credibility of the REACH regulation : lessons drawn from an ABM

Arfaoui, Nabila; Brouillat, Eric; Saint Jean, Maïder - 2015

The present paper takes ground on an agent-based model presented in Arfaoui et al. (2014) to investigate the effects of credibility upon technology substitution such as stimulated by the REACH regulation (EC 1907/2006). The model is used to study how the perceived credibility by clients on the...

Unintended Impacts of Multiple Instruments on Technology Adoption

Coria, Jessica - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Handelshögskolan - 2009

There are many situations where environmental authorities use a mix of environmental policy instruments, rather than one single instrument, to address environmental concerns. For example, one instrument may be used to reduce overall emissions of a pollutant while another is used to address...

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...
