Spillovers are measured with patent forward citations over the period 1981–1988. The level of government R&D budget is instrumented leveraging the unexpected occurrence of the Chernobyl nuclear accident—that exogenously pushed governments to reduce their energy-related R&D budgets—in a difference in differences setting. 2SLS results show that a 10% increase in government R&D increases by some 0.7% the number of citations received by green patents. Although positive and significant, the small magnitude of the estimated elasticity suggests that government R&D takes time to let innovation spillovers from green technologies to materialize with some relevance. 2023-05-09T07:15:28Z 2023-05-09T07:15:28Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10961-023-10000-6 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/8426 en application/pdf Springer
