Sharing R&D investments in breakthrough technologies to control climate change

Rubio, Santiago J. - 2016

This paper examines international cooperation on technological development as an alternative to international cooperation on GHG emission reductions. In order to analyze the scope of cooperation, a three-stage technology agreement formation game is solved. First, countries decide whether or not...

Cournot competition and "green" innovation : an inverted-U relationship

Lambertini, Luca; Poyago-Theotoky, Joanna; Tampieri, … - 2015

We examine the relationship between competition and innovation in an industry where production is polluting and R&D aims to reduce emissions ("green" innovation). We present an n-firm oligopoly where firms compete in quantities and decide their investment in "green" R&D. When environmental...

A good opening : the key to make the most of unilateral climate action

Bosetti, Valentina; De Cian, Enrica - 2011

In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the...

Environmental and technology policy options in the electricity sector : interactions and outcomes

Fischer, Carolyn; Newell, Richard G.; Preonas, Louis - 2014

Myriad policy measures aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector, promote generation from renewable sources, and encourage energy conservation. To what extent do innovation and energy efficiency (EE) market failures justify additional interventions when a carbon price is...

Green technology and optimal emissions taxation

Macdonald, Stuart; Poyago-Theotoky, Joanna - 2014

We examine the impact of an optimal emissions tax on research and development of emission reducing green technology (E-R&D) in the presence of R&D spillovers. We show that the size and effectiveness of the optimal emissions tax depends on the type of the R&D spillover: input or output spillover....
