Fueling the Innovative Process : Oil Prices and Induced Innovation in Automotive Energy-Efficient Technology

Johnson, Daniel K. N.; Crabb, Joseph M. - 2014

This paper tests the induced innovation hypothesis that higher oil prices will lead to increased innovation in energy-efficient automotive technology. We find robust empirical support for the hypothesis, while using various measures of oil and gas prices and controlling for other factors...

Eco-innovation and firm growth: do green gazelles run faster? : microeconometric evidence from a sample of European firms

Colombelli, Alessandra; Krafft, Jackie; Quatraro, Francesco - 2015

This paper investigates the impact of eco-innovation on firms' growth processes, with a special focus on gazelles, i.e. firms' showing higher growth rates than the average. In a context shaped by more and more stringent environmental regulatory frameworks, we posit that inducement mechanisms...

Climate change mitigation options and directed technical change : a decentralized equilibrium analysis

Grimaud, André; Lafforgue, Gilles; Magné, Bertrand - 2009

The paper considers a climate change growth model with three R&D sectors dedicated to energy, backstop and CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) efficiency. First, we characterize the set of decentralized equilibria: A particular equilibrium is associated to each vector of public tools which includes...
