Abstract

Abstract This paper shows that, in the presence of negative production external effects (e.g., waste, pollution), market-driven technology adoption is socially inefficient. Two distinct market structures are considered within the neoclassical framework: perfect competition and monopoly. In both cases, there is a range of cost structures under which firms prefer the adoption of inferior technologies. A number of policy instruments are considered in terms of their welfare enhancing properties.

负外部效应下的技术采用

摘要本文表明，在负面的生产外部效应(如浪费、污染)存在的情况下，市场驱动的技术采用是社会低效的。在新古典主义的框架内考虑了两种不同的市场结构:完全竞争和垄断。在这两种情况下，都存在一系列成本结构，在这些成本结构下，企业更倾向于采用次等技术。一些政策工具被考虑在他们的福利提高属性方面。
