Abstract

There have been five large tradable permit programs (US Acid Rain Program, US Nitrogen Budget Program, Los Angeles Regional Clean Air Management Program, EU Emissions Trading Scheme, and the US Lead Phase Down) in effect long enough to have potentially yielded data to test whether the program altered the rate of innovation and/or diffusion of abatement technology. This paper is an overview of the literature concerning empirical evidence (or lack thereof) of innovation by the firms that comprise the industries affected by these tradable permit programs. We briefly discuss the methods used to determine technological advance and then more thoroughly review existing studies examining advances in pollution control technology under permit programs. Finally, some overarching observations are presented.

可交易许可计划下的创新和传播证据

有五个大型的可交易许可计划(美国酸雨计划、美国氮预算计划、洛杉矶区域清洁空气管理计划、欧盟排放交易计划和美国铅逐步减少计划)已经有效了足够长的时间，有可能产生数据来测试该计划是否改变了减排技术的创新和/或传播速度。本文概述了受这些可交易许可计划影响的行业中企业创新的经验证据(或缺乏经验证据)。我们简要讨论了用于确定技术进步的方法，然后更彻底地回顾了在许可证计划下检查污染控制技术进步的现有研究。最后，提出了一些总体观察结果。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
