Targets for global climate policy: an overview (2013, background): “Even so, optimal climate policy is unaffected provided that technology policy is first-best (Bosetti et al., 2011; Fischer, 2008; Fischer and Newell, 2008; Popp and Newell, 2012) and that resources policy is first-best (Hoel, 2012; van der Ploeg and Withagen, 2012).”
Energy, the Environment, and Technological Change (2009, background): “Fischer (2008) develops a theoretical model showing that government support for emissions control R&D is only effective if there is at least moderate environmental 5 policy in place to encourage adoption of the resulting technologies.”
Political economy constraints on carbon pricing policies: What are the implications for economic efficiency, environmental efficacy, and climate policy design? (2014, background): “…from economic principles, a growing body of research has explored a variety of potential rationales for a mix of climate policies (Bennear and Stavins, 2007; Fischer and Newell, 2008; Fischer, 2008; Jaffe et al., 2005; Lehmann and Gawel, 2013; Lehmann, 2012; Sorrell and Sijm, 2003; Twomey, 2012).”
Using a Policy Mix for Pollution Control { A Review of Economic Literature (2012, unknown): “Fischer (2008) argues that the combination of an emissions policy with a strong support for R&D is economically justified if knowledge spillovers are significant.”
Energy Efficiency: Economics and Policy (2010, background): “…problems like incomplete information, bounded rationality or technology diffusion externalities, which may prove them very useful in second-best settings, as explained by Fischer (2008) or Fischer and Newell (2008) (see also the references provided before for regulation under second-best settings).”
What Should We Expect from Innovation? A Model-Based Assessment of the Environmental and Mitigation Cost Implications of Climate-Related R&D (2010, background): “…and/or to minimise mitigation costs, because such an approach would provide no direct incentives for the adoption of new technologies and, by focusing on the long term, would miss near-term opportunities for cost-effective emissions reductions (Philibert, 2003; Sandén and Azar, 2005; Fischer 2008).”
Combining Policies for Renewable Energy: Is the Whole Less than the Sum of its Parts? (2010, background): “36 Fischer (2009) used indirect demand, so our equations will have the inverse of those slopes.”
International technology-oriented agreements to address climate change (2008, background): “RD&D policy by itself is a poor substitute for mitigation incentives for reducing emissions since it postpones the vast majority of the effort until after costs are brought down, requiring huge investments and forgoing many cost-effective opportunities to reduce emissions (Fischer, 2004; Fischer and”
Environmental Policy Stringency, Technical Progress and Pollution Haven Hypothesis (2020, methodology): “To address the challenge of merging two concepts—the inward-oriented EKC hypothesis and the pollution haven hypothesis—this study embedded both concepts within the framework of the structuralist paradigm of development economics [27,28,37,79].”
Innovation and Climate Policy (2010, unknown): “Fischer and Newell (2008) use a micro approach to study a broader set of policies, including those encouraging technology adoption, to assess policies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting innovation and diffusion of renewable energy.”
The innovation effects of environmental policy instruments — A typical case of the blind men and the elephant? (2011, background): “For instance the study by Fischer et al. (2003) found that no unequivocal ranking was possible between pollution taxes, auctioned permits and free (grandfathered) permits.”
The role of markets and policies in delivering innovation for climate change mitigation (2010, background): “To address these concerns, Newell (2008) points out that it would therefore be critical for policy-makers to put in place GHG emissions pricing policies whose stringency is spelled out for many decades in advance, and that provide stable financial incentives across a wide array of technological solu”
COMBINING MULTIPLE CLIMATE POLICY INSTRUMENTS: HOW NOT TO DO IT (2010, unknown): “Market signals alone may lead to underinvestment in high-potential technologies like renewables (Rosendahl, 2004; Jaffe et al., 2005; Hepburn, 2006; Richels and Blanford, 2008; Fischer, 2008).”
The impact of a carbon tax on economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in Ireland (2013, background): “In the long run, the biggest impact from a carbon tax (and permit price) will be to incentivise research into new technologies (Popp, 2002, Fischer et al., 2003; Fischer, 2007; but see also Adeyemi and Hunt, 2007; van Zon and Yetkiner, 2003).”
