Carbon Taxes, Path Dependency and Directed Technical Change : Evidence from the Auto Industry∗
Can directed technical change be used to combat climate change? We construct new firm-level panel data on auto industry innovation distinguishing between “dirty” (internal combustion engine) and “clean” (e.g. electric and hybrid) patents across 80 countries over several decades. We show that firms tend to innovate relatively more in clean technologies when they face higher tax-inclusive fuel pr...

متن کاملThe Environment and Directed Technical Change.
This paper introduces endogenous and directed technical change in a growth model with environmental constraints. The final good is produced from "dirty" and "clean" inputs. We show that: (i) when inputs are sufficiently substitutable, sustainable growth can be achieved with temporary taxes/subsidies that redirect innovation toward clean inputs; (ii) optimal policy involves both "carbon taxes" a...
متن کاملInduced technological change under carbon taxes
We study changes in fossil fuel and non-fossil energy use and carbon dioxide emissions induced by carbon taxes. We develop a partial energy equilibrium model with capital and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through learning by doing and learning through research, distinguishing between private and public innovations. Our model reproduces the learning curves typi...
