Creative Destruction and Productive Preemption
Norbäck, Pehr-Johan; Persson, Lars; Svensson, Roger - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

Brown Sunsets and Green Dawns in the Industrial Sector: Environmental Innovations, Firm Behavior and the European Emission Trading
Borghesi, Simone; Cainelli, Giulio; Mazzanti, Massimiliano - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
We study the driving forces behind the adoption of environmental innovations (EI) in the Italian industry over 2006-2008 through analyses of the new wave of Community Innovation Survey (CIS) data that covered for the first time environmental innovation adoptions. We investigate whether the first...

Herding cats? Management and university performance
McCormack, John; Propper, Carol; Smith, Sarah L. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013
Using a tried and tested measure of management practices which has been shown to predict firm performance, we survey … incentives for staff recruitment, retention and promotion, are correlated with both teaching and research performance conditional … on resources and past performance. Moreover, this relationship holds for all universities, not just research …

Environmental Research Joint Ventures and Time-Consistent Emission Tax
Ouchida, Yasunori; Goto, Daisaku - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2014
This paper presents an examination of the socially efficient formation of environmental R&D in Cournot duopoly in a setting where a regulator has no precommitment ability for an emission tax. The results reveal that if the environmental damage is slight, alternatively, given severe environmental...

The Effects of Expert Selection, Elicitation Design, and R&D Assumptions on Experts’ Estimates of the Future Costs of Photovoltaics
Verdolini, Elena; Anadon, Laura Diaz; Lu, Jiaqi; Nemet, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2015
Expert elicitations of future energy technology costs can improve energy policy design by explicitly characterizing uncertainty. However, the recent proliferation of expert elicitation studies raises questions about the reliability and comparability of the results. In this paper, we standardize...
