Carrot first, stick second? Environmental policy-mix sequencing and green technologies
Grid investment and subsidy tradeoffs in renewable electricity auctions
Geographically neutral renewable energy auctions incentivize investors to locate their plants in optimal locations to minimize their bid prices, but this concentration might result in substantial grid investments. Ultimately, maximizing the social welfare for consumers requires minimizing the sum of renewable energy auction subsidies and grid investments. We quantify the trade-offs between grid investment costs and auction subsidies in geographic…
Which policy instruments promote innovation in renewable electricity technologies? A critical review of the literature with a focus on auctions
Innovation in general, and innovation in renewable electricity technologies (RETs) in particular, are a main element of the clean energy transition. Traditionally, policy measures to spur innovation have fallen into two main categories: supply-push and demand-pull. The latter category includes auctions, which are now the most popular scheme to support renewable energy worldwide. Although renewable energy auctions have been assessed according to s…
The missing link
Policy Integration and Multi-Level Governance
Multifaceted problems such as sustainable development typically involve complex arrangements of institutions and instruments and the subject of how best to design and operate such ‘mixes’, ‘bundles’ or ‘portfolios’ of policy tools is an ongoing issue in this area. One aspect of this question is that some mixes are more difficult to design and operate than others. The paper argues that, ceteris paribus , complex policy-making faces substantial ris…

Design and Assessment of Renewable Electricity Auctions in Sub-Saharan Africa
Auctions have recently been regarded as a useful alternative to other support schemes for setting the remuneration of renewable electricity (RES-E) worldwide. They have also been increasingly adopted in the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region, mostly due to their promise to support the deployment of RES-E projects cost-effectively. The aim of this article is to identify the design elements of RES-E auctions in SSA and assess their pros and cons with …
The parameters of policy portfolios
Policies increasingly come in complex packages and understanding the nature of design criteria for such portfolios is increasingly important. However, existing studies of policy mixes fail to carefully define the dependent variable of the inquiry. As a result, theorization of policy design has lagged, the cumulative impact of empirical studies has not been great and understanding of the phenomena, despite many observations of its significance in …
On evaluating success in complex policy mixes
Diversity of eco-innovations
Policy Strategies to Promote Eco‐Innovation
This article elaborates an integrated policy framework, including policy features and specific measures that can be implemented to mitigate the barriers to eco‐innovations. We claim that factors inhibiting the development and uptake of eco‐innovations are multifaceted and stem from different sources. This systems view, which highlights the multilayered conception of the obstacles to eco‐innovation, calls for a combination of environmental and tec…
Sustainability and the Central Maghrib economies
Recent scientific analysis has clearly underlined the fact that human beings face the difficult challenge of satisfying their economic needs without significantly altering the basic functions of the biosphere. Survival depends on satisfying those needs while simultaneously respecting ecological functionality such that a balance between the level of economic activity and environmental protection must be established. This challenge is probably grea…
