Deviations in Kilometres Travelled: The Impact of Different Mobility Futures on Energy Use and Climate
Longden, Thomas - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
The importance of a focus on mobility and the kilometres travelled using light duty vehicles is reflected in the persistence of strong demand for personal mobility and emissions that tend to be linked with population and economic growth. Simulation results using the WITCH model show that changes...

Patents as quality signals? The implications for financing constraints on R&D
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hall, Bronwyn H.; Hottenrott, Hanna - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
Information about the success of a new technology is usually held asymmetrically between the research and development (R&D)-performing firm and potential lenders and investors. This raises the cost of capital for financing R&D externally, resulting in financing constraints on R&D especially for...

Collaborative R&D as a strategy to attenuate financing constraints
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hottenrott, Hanna - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2012
The ability of firms to establish R&D collaborations that combine resources, exploit complementary know-how, and internalize R&D externalities has been shown to be of high importance for the successful creation and implementation of new knowledge. We argue in this article that collaborative R&D...

Industrial research versus development investment: the implications of financial constraints
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Hottenrott, Hanna; Thorwarth, Susanne - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009
Previous literature provided evidence on financing constraints for investment in R&D activities due to capital market imperfections and special features of R&D investments. Moreover, it has been shown that a shift in capital structure towards more debt, results in a reduction of R&D investments....
