Technological regimes, path dependency and the environment (2002, background): “Skea (1995) provides a typical classification of these technologies (pollution control, waste management, recycling, waste minimisation, clean technology, measurement and monitoring, clean products).”
Renewable Energy Policies and Technological Innovation: Evidence Based on Patent Counts (2008, positive): “There is some limited empirical evidence to support the more general finding that environmental policies lead to innovation, as reflected in increased patent activity [see Jaffe et al. (2002) for a review of the empirical literature].”
Designing Climate Mitigation Policy (2010, neutral): “…sector inventors or innovators to fully appropriate spillover benefits to other firms that might copy a new technology, imitate around the technology if it is under patent, or otherwise use knowledge about the technology to advance their own research programs (Jaffe et al. 2003; Popp et al. 2009).”
Diffusion of low-carbon technologies and the feasibility of long-term climate targets (2015, background): “Policy interventions are intended to affect not only the portfolio of new technologies that are deployed but also how rapidly and deeply they diffuse (Jaffe et al., 2003, 2005).”
Energy-Technology Innovation (2006, background): “A number of barriers to economically efficient technology diffusion have been identified including (a) the existence of transaction costs (62), (b) market failures such as imperfect information and failure to account for environmental externalities (63, 64), (c) the proprietary nature of technology ”
The innovation effects of environmental policy instruments — A typical case of the blind men and the elephant? (2011, background): “The increase in greater control efficiencies features prominently in the overview articles of Jaffe et al. (2003) and Vollebergh (2007) where it is singled out as “a telling example”.”
Environmental policies and productivity growth: a critical review of empirical findings (2015, background): “● At the industry level, Jaffe and Palmer (1997) and Hamamoto (2006) find a positive effect of more stringent regulations on total R&D expenditures.”
Environmental innovation and environmental performance (2010, background): “Second, because market structure is a potentially important determinant of both innovative activity and environmental performance (Jaffe, Newell, and Stavins, 2002, 2003; Innes and Bial, 2002), we include the four-firm Herfindahl index (Concentration) as an indicator of industry concentration.”
