We find that the EU ETS has increased low-carbon innovation among regulated firms by as much as 10%, while not crowding out patenting for other technologies. We also find evidence that the EU ETS has not affected patenting beyond the set of regulated companies. These results imply that the EU ETS accounts for nearly a 1% increase in European low-carbon patenting compared to a counterfactual scenario.<br>\n<strong><em>The Review of Economics and Statistics<\/em>, March 2016, Vol. 98, No. 1, Pages 173-191.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>This paper investigates the impact of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) on technological change, exploiting installations level&hellip;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[301,319,98,99,303,323,565,385],"publication-type":[436],"topic_area":[4694],"class_list":["post-18647","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","tag-competitiveness","tag-environmental-policy","tag-eu-ets","tag-green-growth","tag-green-innovation","tag-induced-innovation","tag-patent","tag-technological-progress","publication-type-research-articles","topic_area-policy-evaluation"],"acf":{"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":false,"type":"repeater","post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["raphael-calel","antoine-dechezlepretre"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"article_link":{"ref_value":"field_52eee3c7f0586","value":"https:\/\/www.mitpressjournals.org\/doi\/10.1162\/REST_a_00470#.VxD0CXpj3T9","type":false,"post_type":""},"article_link_title":{"ref_value":"field_5322399d89d42","value":"External link to publisher","type":false,"post_type":""},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
