Innovation of Energy Technologies: the role of taxes

Copenhagen Economics

No 36, Taxation Studies from Directorate General Taxation and Customs Union, European Commission

Abstract: The study deals with the links between energy taxation and innovation and presents also new empirical evidence on the impact of energy taxes on patenting activities related to energy technologies. The study suggests that while taxation is a very effective driver of innovation, it can be usefully complemented with other public policy tools, such as public research grants and other technology policies.
