Where Does Energy R&D Come From? A First Look at Crowding Out from Environmentally-Friendly R&D

This is a presentation by David C. Popp of Syracuse University and Richard Newell of Duke University about the private opportunity costs of climate R&D, asking whether an increase in climate R&D represents new R&D spending, or whether some (or all) of the additional climate R&D comes at the expense of other R&D. This presentation was given for a seminar titled Where Does Energy R&D Come From? A First Look at Crowding Out from Environmentally-Friendly R&D.
