Environmental Policy and Innovation: A Decade of Research

Encouraging innovation is an important part of environmental policy. A large literature in environmental economics examines the links between environmental policy and innovation. This paper reviews recent literature on green innovation. I highlight major trends in the literature, including an increased number of cross-country studies and a focus on the effect of different policy instruments on innovation. I include a discussion of the justifications and evidence for technology-specific policy incentives and present evidence on the effectiveness of government R&D spending. My review concludes with a discussion of three promising areas for new research on environmental innovation.

- Innovation, growth and the transition to net-zero emissions (2021, background): “…emerging sectors where the existing industrial classification system offers insufficient granularity (in the UK, the Standard 14 Patents also provide a good indicator of R&D activity (Popp, 2019), as patent applications are usually filed early in the research process (Griliches, 1990).”
- Measuring environmental policy stringency: Approaches, validity, and impact on environmental innovation and energy efficiency (2020, background): “…inputs are used.10 Both environmental innovation and energy efficiency are arguably affected by the implementation of energy and environmental policies, as discussed in a large literature (see for a discussion Carraro et al., 2010; Popp et al., 2010; Witajewski-Baltvilks et al., 2017; Popp, 2019).”
- The technical decomposition of carbon emissions and the concerns about FDI and trade openness effects in the United States (2019, background): “Research should also focus on coordination of the various energy and environmental policies at the state level in the United States and the province level in Canada (Popp, 2019).”
