Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between energy innovations, environmental policies and oil prices. With a panel of 19 OECD countries over the period 1990–2013, we test how the stringency of environmental policies has affected the intensity of energy patents, while controlling for the effect of oil prices and other country-level variables. We found that the overall level of policy stringency has exerted a more significant impact than individual country measures. Moreover, the recent reduction of energy patenting is discussed, especially in the light of the staggering drop of oil prices.

能源创新的趋势和决定因素：专利、环境政策和油价

摘要本文研究了能源创新、环境政策和油价之间的关系。在1990-2013年期间，我们与19个经合组织国家组成的小组一起测试了环境政策的严格性如何影响能源专利的强度，同时控制了油价和其他国家层面变量的影响。我们发现，总体政策严格程度比个别国家的措施产生了更大的影响。此外，还讨论了最近能源专利的减少，特别是考虑到油价的惊人下跌。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
