Dynamic incentive effects of team formation : experimental evidence

Gall, Thomas; Hu, Xiaocheng; Vlassopoulos, Michael - 2016

has ignored possible dynamic effects: e.g., anticipating that team formation is based on prior performance will affect … prior performance. We test this hypothesis in a lab experiment with two stages of a real effort task. Participants first … performance. Our results are consistent with a simple investment-cum-matching model: pairing the worst performing individuals with …

Incumbents' asymmetric responses to environmentally friendly entrants in the automotive industry

Diekhof, Josefine; Cantner, Uwe - 2017

In the context of technological change, the influence of innovative entrants on incumbents is considered a major driving force. Using global patent data, we analyze this influence for the case of the transition from combustion engine vehicles towards alternative technology vehicles (ATVs)....

Organisational change and the productivity effects of green technology adoption

Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha; Veugelers, Reinhilde - 2016 - This version January 2016

This study investigates induced productivity effects of firms introducing new environmental technologies. The literature on within-firm organisational change and productivity suggests that firms can achieve higher productivity gains from adopting new technologies if they adapt their...

Environmental research joint ventures and time-consistent emission tax

Ouchida, Yasunori; Goto, Daisaku - 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...

Policy-induced environmental technology and inventive efforts : is there a crowding out?

Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha - 2013

Significant policy effort is devoted to stimulate the development, adoption and diffusion of environmentally- friendly technology. Sceptics worry about the effects of regulation-induced environmental technology on firms' competitiveness. Since innovation is a crucial productivity driver, a...

Innovation without magic bullets : stock pollution and R&D sequences

Goeschl, Timo; Perino, Grischa - 2006

We study the optimal R&D trajectory in a setting where new technologies are never perfect backstops in the sense that there is no perfectly clean technology that eventually solves the pollution problem once and for all. New technologies have stings attached, i.e. each emits a specific stock...

On backstops and boomerangs : environmental R&D under technological uncertainty

Goeschl, Timo; Perino, Grischa - 2007

The literature on environmental R&D frequently studies innovation as a two-stage process, with a single R&D event leading from a conventional polluting technology to a perfectly clean backstop. We allow for uncertainty in innovation in that the new technology may turn out to generate a new...
