Multiproduct Multinationals and the Quality of Innovation

Bakhtiari, Sasan; Minniti, Antonio; Naghavi, Alireza - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

This research sheds light on the role of multinational production on the type of innovation performed by firms. We … construct matched firm-patent data to measure the scope of innovation, that is the extent to which the output of R&D can be … geographically separate production from innovation focus on more specialized types of R&D. …

Technology Agreements with Heterogeneous Countries

Hoel, Michael; Zeeuw, Aart de - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

For sufficiently low abatement costs many countries might undertake significant emission reductions even without any international agreement on emission reductions. We consider a situation where a coalition of countries does not cooperate on emission reductions but cooperates on the development...

Facing the Experts: Survey Mode and Expert Elicitation

Baker, Erin; Bosetti, Valentina; Jenni, Karen E.; … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014

In this paper we compare the results of two different expert elicitation methods: in-person interviews and a self-administered web-based survey. Traditional expert elicitation has been done face to face, with an elicitor meeting with an expert for a few hours to several days, depending on the...

Investments and Financial Flows Induced by Climate Mitigation Policies

Massetti, Emanuele; Bastianin, Andrea; Favero, Alice - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

In this paper we use the hybrid integrated model WITCH to quantify and analyze the investments and financial flows stimulated by a climate policy to stabilize Greenhouse Gases concentrations at 550ppm CO2-eq at the end of the century. We focus on investments to decarbonize the power sector and...

The Relationship Between Environmental Efficiency and Manufacturing Firm’s Growth

Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Cainelli, Giulio; Zoboli, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008

This paper investigates the empirical link between emission intensity and economic growth, using a very large data set of 61,219 Italian manufacturing firms over the period 2000-2004. As a measure of lagged environmental performance (efficiency) at firm level we exploit NAMEA sector for CO2,...

Uncertain R&D, Backstop Technology and GHGs Stabilization

Bosetti, Valentina; Tavoni, Massimo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper analyses optimal investments in innovation when dealing with a stringent climate target and with the … uncertain effectiveness of R&D. The innovation needed to achieve the deep cut in emissions is modelled by a backstop carbon … technological advancement yields higher investments in innovation and lower policy costs. We then confirm the results via a …

R&D in Cleaner Technology and International Trade

Youssef, Slim Ben - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004

We consider a dynamic three-stage game played by two regulator-firm hierarchies to capture the scale and technological effects of opening markets to international trade. Each firm produces one good sold on the market. Firms can invest in R&D in order to lower their fixed emission/output ratio...

Energy Biased Technical Change: A CGE Analysis

Otto, Vincent M.; Löschel, Andreas; Dellink, Rob - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005

This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Transboundary Pollution, R&D Spillovers and International Trade

Youssef, Slim Ben - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003

We consider a symmetric three-stage game played by a pair of regulator-firm hierarchies to capture the scale and technology effects. Each firm produces one good sold on the market. The production process generates pollution characterized by a fixed emission/output ratio, and cross-borders. Firms...
