The risk of opposition from the population increasingly plays a role in choosing the climate policy measures to achieve the objective to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Norway, there is a long-standing cross-party consensus that the development of new technologies will be...

To mitigate climate change in an accelerated time frame, more research is needed to understand how to achieve effective large-scale diffusion of low-carbon innovations. The conceptualization of sectoral socio-technical system transitions requires extending beyond an economic and technological...

Die Intensivierung internationaler Forschungs- und Technologiekooperationen kann einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Überwindung globaler Umweltprobleme leisten. Daher erfolgt in dieser Studie eine Bestandsaufnahme der kooperativen Innovationsaktivitäten bei Umwelttechnologien auf globaler Ebene. Die...

Die direkte Abscheidung von Kohlenstoffdioxid (CO2) aus der Luft, das sogenannte Direct Air Capture (DAC), wird vermehrt als eine der Möglichkeiten zur Reduzierung von Treibhausgasen und damit der Begrenzung der Klimaerwärmung diskutiert. Vorteilhaft gegenüber anderen technischen Ansätzen...

In a domestic market, a duopoly produces a homogeneous final good, pollution, pollution abatement, and R&D, which reduces abatement cost. One of the firms (foreign) has superior technology. The government regulates the duopoly by levying a pollution tax to maximize domestic welfare. We consider...

The relationship between green technology innovation and corporate financial performance has gained considerable traction in academics and businesses. However, there is limited overall bibliometric analysis on this topic. To meet the research need, this study, using Citespace (Citespace5.8r3...

In recent years, modern society has faced a number of challenges related to the achievement of global goals for sustainable development. Industrial enterprises are challenged to generate, stimulate, and demand changes in networks and supply chains, but these challenges require flexibility and...

The costs of low-carbon energy fell dramatically over the past decade, leading to rapid growth in its deployment. However, many challenges remain to deploy low-carbon energy at a scale necessary to meet net zero carbon emission targets. We argue that developing complementary technologies and...

This study investigates the determinants of FDI in Austria, as well as their spillovers to innovating technologies, productivity, and employment, using firm-level data, for the period 2008-2018. The findings point out that a decrease in the costs of trade increases investment in foreign-owned...

We propose a mixture model approach to identify locally optimal technologies and to dissect environmental productivity (output produced per unit of emission) into a technological and a managerial component. For a large sample of plants covered by the EU ETS, we find that the share of plants...

Theory suggests that new market entrants play a special role for the creation of new technological pathways required for the development and diffusion of more sustainable forms of production, consumption, mobility and housing. Unconstrained by past technological investments, entrants can...

Blockchain technology has been heralded as a game changer for addressing severe environmental and economic sustainability challenges. In response to rising environmental concerns, blockchain technology (BCT) is transforming green innovation, culminating in green economic practices and...

Die wissenschaftliche Ausgangslage ist eindeutig: Der menschengemachte Klimawandel führt so lange zu einer Erhöhung der durchschnittlichen globalen Oberflächentemperatur bis globale Netto-Nullemissionen erreicht werden. Dies hat direkte klimapolitische Konsequenzen: (i) Die relevante Frage...

Purpose - This study analyzed the multilevel barriers and facilitators of technological eco-innovations. Design/methodology/approach - The authors carried out an in-depth case study in a Brazilian cosmetics company, recognized for its eco-innovative initiatives, which has the technological...

The importance of coordination problems in the greening of the economy is analyzed using a global game approach in a simple macro-dynamic model. Two policy options to motivate firms to adopt green technology are examined: one coupling an emissions tax with subsidies, the other coupling an...

This paper investigates the financing of 739 Cleantech firms in the UK that have recently raised equity finance. We find that Small and Medium Sized Cleantech firms raise external equity due to financial constraints and to ameliorate illiquidity. We also provide evidence that intangibility does...

This paper studies the effect of climate change mitigating policies on innovation in clean energy technologies. Results suggest that the tightening of environmental policies since the early 1990s have made a statistically and economically significant contribution to the increase in clean...

In short, yes. I use a multi-region integrated assessment model with fuel-specific endogenous technical change to examine the impact of Europe and China reducing emissions to zero by mid-century. Without international technological diffusion this is insufficient to avoid catastrophic climate...

This paper investigates the joint effect of consumers' environmental concerns and product-market competition on firms' decisions whether to innovate “clean” or “dirty”. We first develop a step-by-step innovation model to capture the basic intuition that socially responsible consumers...

International clean technology diffusion is essential to mitigate and adapt to climate change, while fast and optimal diffusion can be prevented by the paywall of patents. This article explores the deficiency in clean technology diffusion caused by the legal fragmentation and rule complex of...

To the extent that firms don't internalise the negative externalities oftheir CO2 emissions, government intervention is needed to curb globalwarming. We study the equilibrium interaction between firms, which caninvest in green technologies, and government, which can impose\ emissioncaps but has...
