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...

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...

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...

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-free technology whose cost depends on R&D investments. To...

From the Theory of the Firm to FDI and Internalisation: A Survey
Gattai, Valeria - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
This paper surveys recent contributions on the Internalisation issue, based on different theories of the firm, to show how the make-or-buy decision, at an international level, has been assessed through the opening up of the “black box” - traditionally explored by the theorists of the firm...
