Working Paper 14<\/h2>\n

Abstract<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Regression results show that technology-specific capabilities of the recipient countries are determinant factors. In contrast, the general level of education is less important.<\/p>\n

We also show that restrictions to international trade, such as high tariff rates, and lax intellectual property regimes negatively influence the international diffusion of patented knowledge.<\/p>\n

A counter-intuitive result is that barriers to foreign direct investments can promote transfers. We discuss different possible interpretations.<\/p>\n
