- Knowledge Spillovers from Clean and Dirty Technologies (2014, background): “If this leads to less investment in dirty technologies, as evidenced by Aghion et al. (2012), there seems to be scope for medium run growth effects.”
- Carbon pricing in climate policy: seven reasons, complementary instruments, and political economy considerations (2017, background): “A third study analyses 3412 firm-level patent data from 80 countries for the car industry between 1965 and 2005, concluding that firms tend to innovate more in clean technologies when they face higher tax-inclusive fuel prices.(16) Corrected prices are essential to rapid innovation in the right dire”
- Directed Technical Change as a Response to Natural Resource Scarcity (2021, background): “(and found to be relevant) by, among others, Popp (2002) and Aghion et al. (2016) for the application to clean anddirty technologies in the case”
- Environmental Policy and Innovation: A Decade of Research (2019, background): “Aghion et al. (2016) conclude their paper with a numerical simulation showing that path dependency creates lock-in for dirty innovation in a world without policies supporting clean technology (such as a carbon tax or R&D subsidy), but that path dependency reinforces the growth of clean technology…”
- Induced innovation in clean energy technologies from foreign environmental policy stringency? (2019, background): “environmental policy, including stricter emissions and the catalytic converter (Aghion et al., 2016).”
