Do existing regional specialisations stimulate or hinder diversification into cleantech
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used patent applications to investigate how the existing regional knowledge base, and in particular specialisation in fossil fuel technologies, affected both initial and subsequent regional diversification into cleantech knowledge production in European regions.

Impacts of Carbon Prices on Indicators of Competitiveness
TL;DR: A review of literature on ex post empirical evaluations of the impacts of carbon prices on indicators of competitiveness as employed in the literature, including employment, output or exports, at different levels of aggregation is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
International Transmission of the Business Cycle and Environmental Policy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model of environmental policy for a two-country economy and study the international transmission of asymmetric shocks considering two different economywide greenhouse gases (GHG) emission regulations: a carbon tax and a cap-and-trade system allowing for cross-border exchange of emission permits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sharing responsibility for trade-related emissions based on economic benefits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an economic benefit shared responsibility (EBSR) scheme for trade-related emissions between producers and consumers, in which China is attributed significantly higher responsibility for emissions than in CBA, while lower emissions and responsibility are attributed to both the US and the EU.

The Impact of Trade on Intra-Industry Reallocations and Aggregate Industry Productivity
TL;DR: This paper developed a dynamic industry model with heterogeneous firms to analyze the intra-industry effects of international trade and showed how the exposure to trade will induce only the more productive firms to enter the export market (while some less productive firms continue to produce only for the domestic market).
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a New Conception of the Environment-Competitiveness Relationship
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the trade-off between environmental regulation and competitiveness unnecessarily raises costs and slows down environmental progress, and that instead of simply adding to cost, properly crafted environmental standards can trigger innovation offsets, allowing companies to improve their resource productivity.

A Model of Growth Through Creative Destruction
Philippe Aghion,Peter Howitt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of endogenous growth is developed in which vertical innovations, generated by a competitive research sector, constitute the underlying source of growth and equilibrium is determined by a forward-looking difference equation, according to which the amount of research in any period depends upon the expected amount of the research next period.

Economic Growth and the Environment
Gene M. Grossman,Alan B. Krueger +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between per capita income and various environmental indicators and found no evidence that environmental quality deteriorates steadily with economic growth, rather, for most indicators, economic growth brings an initial phase of deterioration followed by a subsequent phase of improvement.
Green and Competitive: Ending the Stalemate
TL;DR: The Dutch flower industry has responded to its environmental problems by developing a closed-loop system to reduce the risk of infestation, reducing the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and improving product quality as mentioned in this paper.
