Exploring the role of phase-out policies for low-carbon energy transitions: the case of the German Energiewende (2017, neutral): “However, it has been increasingly argued that these market-based approaches have not been su ﬃ cient in promoting energy transitions at the rates necessary to meet ambitious climate change targets [61 – 63].”
Environmental Policy and Directed Technological Change: Evidence from the European Carbon Market (2012, background): “Demand-pull policies like the EU ETS may therefore fail to bring about low-carbon technological change unless combined with complementary technology-push policies (Fischer and Newell, 2008; Acemoglu et al., 2012).”
From growth to green growth. (2011, positive): “…in knowledge tends to be lower than desirable in the absence of public intervention, policies targeting green technologies can usefully increase R&D investments (Gerlagh, 2006; Otto et al., 2008; Fischer and Newell, 2008; Acemoglu et al., 2011).6 These three positive factors are shown in Figure 2.”
Energy technology patents–CO2 emissions nexus: An empirical analysis from China (2012, background): “They could simultaneously give incentives for fossil energy producers to reduce emission intensity and for carbon-free energy producers to expand production (Fischer and Newell, 2008).”
Environmental and climate innovation: Limitations, policies and prices (2013, background): “Fischer and Newell (2008) find – using an applied model which includes a range of environmental and technological policy instruments – that a price on CO2 emissions is the most efficient single policy to reduce emissions.”
Carbon pricing and deep decarbonisation (2018, background): “Notwithstanding their known shortcomings from a static cost-effectiveness perspective (Fischer and Newell, 2008), policies other than carbon pricing have recently garnered renewed attention in the literature.”
The role of markets and policies in delivering innovation for climate change mitigation (2010, background): “While the trend in private-sector energy R&D appears to have been largely downward over the last three decades, current private-sector R&D investments relevant to energy technology are extremely difficult to assess, and these estimates provide a poor indication of the overall level of private-sector”
Mobilizing private finance for low-carbon innovation – A systematic review of barriers and solutions (2017, positive): “Environmental economists widely suggest a combination of regulation and R &D support as components of the solution [48,51,74,99].”
Environmental Policy and Innovation: A Decade of Research (2019, background): “They extend the work of Fischer and Newell (2008), allowing for additional details such as improved energy efficiency and distinguishing between “conventional” and “advanced” renewable energy sources to capture differences in costs and innovation potential.”
