The Effect of Marshallian and Jacobian Knowledge Spillovers on Jobs in the Solar, Wind and Energy Efficiency Sector

The purpose of this paper is to establish if Marshallian and Jacobian knowledge spillovers affect job creation in the green energy sector. Whether these two effects exist important for number jobs created related fields pushed away other sectors. In analysis, production efficiency, terms spillovers, from inventions solar, wind explored through data envelopment analysis (DEA), based on Malmquist productivity index, tobit regression. A panel dataset American European firms over period 2002–2017 used. contribution literature show role same technology sector (Marshallian externalities), more diversified activity (Jacobian externalities). Since previous empirical evidence concerning innovation efficiency yet weak, attempts bridge gap. findings suggest negative externalities, while externalities have no statistical impact process. are strategic importance governments who developing industrial strategies renewable energy.
