Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapters of this part of the book, we stressed the importance of structural features of renewable technologies and the role these features play in adoption processes. The result obtained in the previous chapters is that strong irreversibilities in the decision-making process to adopt do indeed exist, despite the institutional rules governing the market. Our main interest is now to test these theoretical results empirically. For this purpose, a database is built on the success factors (or barriers) for adoption (or non-adoption) of renewable technologies in different European cities.
