Citations in the corpus
- Innovation, growth and the transition to net-zero emissions (2021, background): “centives, investments in early-stage clean technologies appear to have been viewed by many investors as more risky than the dirty alternatives that occupy established positions (see, for example, Nanda et al., 2015; Gaddy et al., 2017), implying heightened financing constraints.”
- Accelerating Materials Development via Automation, Machine Learning, and High-Performance Computing (2018, result): “This mismatch in time constants results in a historically poor return on investment of energy-materials (cleantech) research relative to comparable investments in medical or software development.(1)”
- Technology and Market Perspective for Indoor Photovoltaic Cells (2019, unknown): “For example, if recently discovered PV materials are established at lab-scale [19], this market could reduce their time to revenue, increasing a thin-film PV startups chance of success [20].”
- Entrepreneurs for a low carbon world: How environmental knowledge and policy shape the creation and financing of green start-ups (2020, unknown): “This is ever more important in the context of the low carbon transition, given both the investment needs of the sector and the imperative for timely scale-up of green solutions across geographies (BNEF, 2019; Gaddy et al., 2017; Knight, 2012).”
- Environmental Policy and Innovation: A Decade of Research (2019, background): “Similarly, comparing venture capital investments in clean energy, software, and medicine, Gaddy et al. (2017) find that clean energy ventures perform less well than software, but not worse than medicine.”
