“…These indicators alone do not reflect the complexity and dynamics of public RD&D, let alone innovation processes (Gallagher, Holdren, and Sagar 2006). The quantitative estimation of innovation policy indicators has been frequently criticized for rarely coming to conclusions with high policy relevance (Bergek et al 2008).…”

“…Indicator evaluation in the field of LCET RD&D is neither very far developed nor tested. Notable attempts are: Gallagher, Holdren, and Sagar (2006), who discuss the merits of various input, output, and outcome metrics but do not apply a uniform indicator evaluation framework; Wilson et al (2012: 781), who roughly estimate the suitability of various indicators to research 'directed innovation efforts in response to climate change mitigation ';and Carley, Brown, and Lawrence (2012), who propose an evaluation framework for 'energy-based economic development' which includes the categorization of relevant indicators but not an actual indicator evaluation.…”

ForewordSustainable energy transitions involve the shift of resources between competing industrial sectors and political constituencies. Stakeholders in this process have varying degrees of political and economic power, and understanding how political economic factors influence clean energy transitions is crucial to effective policy formulation and facilitating transitions to sustainable energy systems. In partnership with the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA), UNU-WIDER gathered together a substantial group of experts from around the world-from both developed and developing countries-to launch a multidisciplinary research project seeking to contribute to our enhanced understanding of these factors. The project sought to facilitate an energy transition that will generate very large environmental and economic benefits, particularly over the long run. The beneficiaries of clean energy transitions are highly diffuse and include future generations not yet born. This book is the distilled essence of the cross-cutting academic project. I express my sincere and professional appreciation to the large group of expert authors for their dedication to the project, and to my fellow editors in helping bring together the book for readers to enjoy and absorb along with the findings and policy implications.

“…These metric proxies of innovation inputs, outputs, and outcomes can be either intangible (e.g., knowledge stock, practical problems and ideas) or tangible and human (e.g., investments needed, scientists, laboratories) (Freeman and Soete, 2000). The following three sections provide an overview of commonly used innovation metrics and their attendant issues, drawing on Gallagher et al (2006) and Sagar and Holdren (2002) unless otherwise noted.  Use as a proxy for 'tacit' knowledge embodied in labour input to innovation process.…”

Input, Output, and Outcome Metrics for Assessing Energy Technology Innovation

AUTHORS' SUMMARYA variety of quantitative methods have been used to analyse energy technology innovation. These range from efforts to identify and isolate the effects of particular policies or innovation processes such as research and development, to studies of the broader social benefits of energy technology innovation. Innovation metrics can thus describe innovation inputs, outputs or outcomes. This case study presents the commonly used metrics in each of these categories, together with the main issues associated with their application. The discussion then identifies some broader issues with the use of quantitative metrics to analyse energy technology innovation including the lack of integrated metrics, problems with quality control, and difficulties with cross-country and cross-technology comparisons.

Challenges and trade‐offs in corporate innovation for climate change

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The international debate on addressing global climate change increasingly points to the role that companies can play by using their innovative capacity. However, up till now companies have been rather cautious in taking decisive steps in facilitating an innovation‐based transition towards a low‐carbon economy. This paper conceptually explores some key challenges related to innovating for climate change, in the broader context of technological change, complementary capability development and sociotechnical systems, to point to trade‐offs to be made by companies. We adopt a firm‐level perspective to discuss (a) how companies strike a balance between further development and deployment of emissions‐reducing technologies, in view of the fact that there is no ‘silver bullet’ solution for climate change yet, (b) how and in what way low‐carbon solutions are brought to the market, by targeting consumers in either mainstream markets or niche markets, and (c) to what extent the success or failure of climate change innovations depends on companies' bargaining power and willingness to cooperate with others. The paper shows how several industry‐ and firm‐specific factors – technological dynamism, complementarity between new technologies and existing assets, and ownership of specialized assets for commercialization – influence how companies strike a balance between the different trade‐offs and deal with the uncertainty created by the current ‘climate policy deadlock’.
