| Publisher Description: OECD Studies on Environmental Innovation Invention and Transfer of Environmental Technologies Improved understanding of the relationship between public policy and environmental innovation is crucial to the design of environmentally effective and economically efficient environmental policies. However, hard evidence remains scarce. In an effort to fill this gap, this series brings together the results of a number of projects undertaken at the OECD Environment Directorate, exploring the links between environmental policy and innovation. This book brings together empirical studies on the effect of environmental policies on the development and diffusion of innovations which reduce the environmental impacts of production and consumption patterns. Contents: Chapter 1. Environmental policy design characteristics and innovation; Chapter 2. Environmental policy, multilateral environmental agreements and international markets for innovation; Chapter 3. Innovation in electric and hybrid vehicle technologies: the role of prices, standards and R&D; Chapter 4. Diverting waste: The role of innovation; Chapter 5. Innovation in selected areas of green; chemistry; Chapter 6. Policy conclusions Annex A. Methodological issues in the development of indicators of innovation and transfer in environmental technologies; Annex B. Patent search strategies; Annex C. Glossary of relevant patent and related terms |
