Overcoming the liability of newness: Entrepreneurial action and the emergence of China's private solar photovoltaic firms (2016, background): “…the institutional environment and entrepreneurs’ actions were quite different before and after July 2004, when Germany’s amendment to its feed-in-tariff (FIT) regulations created a demand spike in the global market (Jäger-Waldau, 2006; Grau et al, 2012; Hoppmann et al, 2013; Hoppmann et al, 2014).”
The pace of governed energy transitions: Agency, international dynamics and the global Paris agreement accelerating decarbonisation processes? (2016, background): “…interplay between solar PV deployment subsidies in Germany which triggered mass investment in solar module manufacturing capacity in China which significantly brought down solar module costs, thereby accelerating the further diffusion of solar PV globally (Hoppmann et al., 2014; Quitzow, 2015).”
Harnessing theories of the policy process for analysing the politics of sustainability transitions: A critical survey (2017, background): “Second, including policymaking and implementation processes into research on the co-evolution of policy and socio-technical change promises to improve our understanding of the dynamic nature and causal links between the two (Hoppmann et al., 2014; Reichardt et al., 2016).”
Exploring the role of phase-out policies for low-carbon energy transitions: the case of the German Energiewende (2017, unknown): “In addition, unexpectedly positive developments in solar PV between 2009 and 12 led to exceptional adjustments in the EEG, which combined with global competition caused some turmoil and consolidation of the Germany PV industry [79,80].”
Analysis of feed-in tariff policies for solar photovoltaic in China 2011–2016 (2017, methodology): “[16] investigated the evolution of Germany’s FIT policies and shown how the characteristics of socio-technical systems affect policy interventions.”
The politics of niche-regime conflicts: Distributed solar energy in the United States (2016, background): “…o i o o m r H j a F c H p p t f e s p a i r s a p o b pportunity to build on research that recognizes the need to include greater attention to politics and power in the analysis f STs (Avelino and Rotmans, 2009; Geels, 2014; Jiusto and McCauley, 2010; Kern and Smith, 2008; Verbong and Geels, 007).”
The co-evolution of policy mixes and socio-technical systems: Towards a conceptual framework of policy mix feedback in sustainability transitions (2019, background): “Others have sought to analyse how single policies coevolve with the socio-technical system (Hoppmann et al., 2014), but only present a relatively simplistic conceptualisation of the policy process.”
Do policy mix characteristics matter for low-carbon innovation? A survey-based exploration of renewable power generation technologies in Germany (2018, background): “After the Fukushima accident in 2011 and the resulting reinstatement of the nuclear phase-out through 2022 (Hermwille, 2016), and with declining technology costs, particularly for solar PV installations (Hoppmann et al., 2014), the expansion of renewable energies in the German electricity system was”
Inventor Networks in Renewable Energies: The Influence of the Policy Mix in Germany (2016, background): “…Renewable Energy Sources Act (“Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz”, EEG) in 2000, which extended the FIT and distinguished further between different kinds of technologies and increased the support for PV and other technologies (see Hoppmann et al. 2014 for the development of the EEG, especially for PV).”
