Return to Assessing the Roles of Industrial Policy and Trade Policy in the Market for Renewable Energy
2023: Assessing the Roles of Industrial Policy and Trade Policy in the Market for Renewable Energy
The purpose of this project is to study the potential of industrial policy to help or hinder climate change mitigation efforts. Researchers will develop an inventory of current and former renewable energy subsidies around the world, based on publicly available data from governments and international organizations. They will assess the stated goals of renewable energy subsidies as compared to their actual impacts by surveying academic literature and analyzing news sources. They will then develop policy recommendations that could reconcile the stated and actual impacts of such subsidies and guide institutions in responding to disputes over industrial policy related to renewable energy.
