Costa, M. Teresa (Maria Teresa), 1951-Garcia-Quevedo, Jose2019-10-222022-12-3120192160-5882https://hdl.handle.net/2445/142790Energy R&D can have major social and economic impacts and is a critical factor in addressing the challenges presented by climate change mitigation policies. As well as the energy utilities themselves, firms in other sectors also invest in energy R however, while various studies have examined the determinants of R&D in the former, there are no analyses of energy R&D drivers in other industries. This paper seeks to fill this gap by examining the determinants of investment in energy R&D in non-energy industries. We focus on manufacturing industries where we can differentiate between energy and non-energy R&D related expenditure. The empirical analysis is carried out for 21 sectors in Spain for the period 2008-2013. To overcome data shortcomings, we built a database from several surveys. The data show the importance of taking into account the efforts devoted to energy R&D by the manufacturing sectors in order to have more complete information about the total investment made in energy RΔ The results of the estimations indicate the importance of the energy R&D developed by firms that supply the energy utilities.12 p.application/pdfeng(c) International Association for Energy Economics, 2019Recerca industrialGestió de la innovacióIndústria manufactureraIndustrial researchInnovation managementManufacturing industriesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6916202019-10-22info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
