Invention and diffusion of water supply and water efficiency technologies: insights from a global patent dataset
This paper identifies over 50 000 patents filed worldwide in various water-related technologies between 1990 and 2010, distinguishing between those related to availability (supply) and conservation (demand) technologies. read more »
What drives the international transfer of climate change mitigation technologies? Empirical evidence from patent data
Technology transfer plays a key role in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, we characterize the factors that promote or hinder the international diffusion of climate-friendly technologies using detailed patent data from 96 countries for the period 1995–2007. read more »
Environmental regulation and the cross-border diffusion of new technology: evidence from automobile patents
This article examines the impact of environmental regulation within countries, as well as regulatory distance between countries on international technology transfer. read more »
Invention and transfer of climate change–mitigation technologies: a global analysis
This article uses the European Patent Office Worldwide Patent Statistical Database to examine the geographic distribution and global diffusion of inventions in thirteen climate-mitigation technologies since 1978. read more »
Invention and transfer of climate change mitigation technologies on a global scale: a study drawing on patent data
Our paper uses the EPO/OECD World Patent Statistical Database(PATSTAT) to provide a quantitative description of the geographic distribution of inventions in thirteen climate mitigation technologies since 1978 and their international diffusion on a global scale. read more »
What drives the international transfer of climate change mitigation technologies? Empirical evidence from patent data
Using patent data from 66 countries for the 1990–2003 period, we characterise the factors that promote or hinder the international diffusion of climate-friendly technologies on a global scale read more »
Invention and transfer of climate change mitigation technologies on a global scale: A study drawing on patent data. Report for AFD (French Development Agency)
Accelerating the development of less GHG intensive technologies and promoting their global diffusion—in particular in fast-growing emerging economies—is imperative in achieving the transition to a low-carbon economy. read more »
Technology transfer by CDM projects: a comparison of Brazil, China, India and Mexico.
In a companion paper [Dechezleprêtre, A., Glachant, M., Ménière, Y., 2008. The Clean Development Mechanism and the international diffusion of technologies: An empirical study, Energy Policy 36, 1273–1283], we … read more »
The Clean Development Mechanism and the international diffusion of technologies: an empirical study
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is expected to stimulate the North–South transfer of climate-friendly technologies. This paper provides an assessment of the technology transfers that take place through the CDM using a data set of 644 registered projects. read more »
