Drivers of Energy R&D in Manufacturing Industries Costa, M. Teresa (Maria Teresa), 1951- Garcia-Quevedo, Jose Recerca industrial Gestió de la innovació Indústria manufacturera Industrial research Innovation management Manufacturing industries Energy 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. 2019-10-22T14:44:14Z 2022-12-31T06:10:20Z 2019 2019-10-22T14:44:14Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Versió postprint del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.5547/2160-5890.8.2.mcos Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy, 2019, vol. 80, num. 2, p. 69-80 https://doi.org/10.5547/2160-5890.8.2.mcos (c) International Association for Energy Economics, 2019 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess International Association for Energy Economics Articles publicats en revistes (Economia)
