Technology Neutral vs. Technology Specific Procurement

An imperfectly-informed regulator needs to procure multiple units of some good that can be produced with heterogeneous technologies at various costs. How should it optimally procure these units? We find that one size does not fit all: the preferred instrument depends on the costs of the available technologies, their degree of substitutability, the extent of information asymmetry, and the costs of public funds.

Green industrial policy, information asymmetry, and repayable advance

Guy MeunierJean-Pierre PonssardPublicationsPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsSectoral PoliciesComments Off on Green industrial policy, information asymmetry, and repayable advance

Recent recovery plans, associated with the COVID‐19 pandemic and the energy transition, increased the funding available to finance innovative low‐carbon projects and called for an economic evaluation of their allocation. This paper analyzes the potential benefit of using repayable advance: a lump‐sum payment to finance the project that is paid back in case of success.

What are the Drivers of Corporates’ climate transparency? Evidence from the S&P 1200 Index
