Die Motorisierung der Weltbevölkerung und das Verkehrsaufkommen werden zukünftig weiter zunehmen. Die zentralen Triebkräfte hinter diesen Entwicklungen werden das immense Bevölkerungswachstum und die rasant steigenden Einkommen in zahlreichen Regionen der Welt sein. Eine sehr dynamische...

The United States consumed more petroleum-based liquid fuel per capita than any other OECD-high-income country - 30 percent more than the second-highest country (Canada) and 40 percent more than the third-highest (Luxemburg). This paper examines the main channels through which reductions in U.S....

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)....

The influence of innovative entrants on incumbents is considered important for technological change. We analyze this influence for the global transition towards alternative technology vehicles (ATVs). Our results indicate that entrants' ATV-related knowledge accumulation stimulates average...

The ongoing shift from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) to electric vehicles (EVs) has raised questions about whether this transition will be economically as well as environmentally sustainable. In particular, one concern is the impact on manufacturing labor. Prior studies...

Innovation in the automobile sector, is happening at a fast pace, especially in terms of environment friendly-technologies. This paper is an exploratory study to understand how technology is evolving in this sector, in context to electric vehicles (EV). For this, patent data, the classic proxy...

Global efforts to stymie greenhouse gas emissions have been diverse and multifaceted; with limiting carbon emissions from internal combustion automobiles being implicated as a key tactic. In this work, we examine one approach taken by governments to steer consumers away from traditional vehicles...
