The article "Environmental Policy and Technological Change" by Jaffe, Newell, and Stavins explores the relationship between technological change and environmental policy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the analytical frameworks and tools used to study this interaction, focusing on the economic aspects of technological change. The authors discuss the measurement of technological change, the process of technological change, induced innovation, and the diffusion of new technologies. They highlight the importance of environmental policy in stimulating innovation and the potential for "win-win" outcomes where pollution reduction and increased profits coexist. The article also examines the theoretical and empirical evidence on the effects of different environmental policy instruments on technological change, including command-and-control regulations and market-based approaches. The authors conclude by discussing the challenges and opportunities in designing policies that encourage efficient and beneficial technological change.The article "Environmental Policy and Technological Change" by Jaffe, Newell, and Stavins explores the relationship between technological change and environmental policy.
