Chapter 6 in The Economics of Technology Diffusion and Energy Efficiency, 2005, pp 142-178 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Technological change plays a crucial role in realizing energy efficiency improvements and, therefore, in ameliorating the conflict between economic growth and environmental quality. However, the diffusion of new technologies can prove a costly and lengthy process, meaning that many firms do not invest in best-practice technologies. The author offers important new explanations for this energy-efficiency paradox.
