Knowledge Spillovers from Clean and Dirty Technologies
Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Martin, Ralf; Mohnen, Myra - Centre for Economic Performance, LSE - 2014
capture the indirect knowledge spillovers generated by patents. We find that conditional on a wide range of potential … confounding factors clean patents receive on average 43% more citations than dirty patents. Knowledge spillovers from clean … also suggest that green policies might be able to boost economic growth through induced knowledge spillovers. …

Patent protection and the transition to clean technology
Alsina-Pujols, Maria; Hovdahl, Isabel - 2023
We analyze the use of patent protection as a new policy to direct technical change to clean technology. Contrary to popular belief, it is dirty (and not clean) innovations that should be excluded from patent protection to reduce emissions. In the shortrun, removing patent protection on dirty...

Climate Change, Directed Innovation, and Energy Transition : The Long-run Consequences of the Shale Gas Revolution
Acemoglu, Daron; Aghion, Philippe; Barrage, Lint; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
We investigate the short- and long-term effects of a natural gas boom in an economy where energy can be produced with coal, natural gas, or clean sources and the direction of technology is endogenous. In the short run, a natural gas boom reduces carbon emissions by inducing substitution away...

Directed Technical Change and Economic Growth Effects of Environmental Policy
Kruse-Andersen, Peter - 2016
A Schumpeterian growth model is developed to investigate how environmental policy affects economic growth when … economic growth and pollution emission growth. Simulation results indicate that even large environmental policy reforms have … small economic growth effects. However, these economic growth effects have relatively large welfare effects which suggest …

Optimal climate policy as if the transition matters
Campiglio, Emanuele; Dietz, Simon; Venmans, Frank - 2022
The optimal transition to a low-carbon economy must account for adjustment costs in switching from dirty to clean capital, technological progress, and economic and climatic shocks. We study the low-carbon transition using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with emissions abatement...

Capital-embodied technologies in CGE models
Lennox, James; Parrado, Ramiro - 2015
Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are widely used to analyse macroeconomic and sectoral effects of climate policies. Developing new and improving existing carbon-free energy technologies will be crucial to limit the long-term economic costs of mitigation policies. Such technologies are...
