“…Apart from price policies, technological improvements and using the most efficient source of energy will all play a vital role. In addition to investing more in renewable energy, South Korea also plans to build more nuclear power plants (Hong et al, 2014).…”

“…Korea focused on developing solar energy technology more than wind energy technology, which diverges from Japan's strategy of developing both technologies simultaneously. This is because Korea concentrated on the photovoltaic industry, which has many similarities to the display and semiconductor industries [76], and the Korean government implemented a feed-in tariff from 2002 to 2011 to encourage photovoltaic technology development [77]. Thus, as Japan was one of the leading countries in solar photovoltaic technology [78], it seemed that the renewable energy technology development strategy in Korea imitated the Japanese strategy until 2007.…”

This study investigates the evolutionary patterns of renewable energy technology in East Asian countries-Japan, Korea, and China-as an emerging technology where the catch-up strategy is actively taking place. To reflect the quality of technology development activities, we assess each country's research and development (R&D) activities using patent citation analysis. The goal of this study is to overcome the limitations of prior research that uses quantitative information, such as R&D expenditures and number of patents. This study observes the process of technological catch-up and leapfrogging in the East Asian renewable energy sector. Furthermore, we find that each nation's technology development portfolio differs depending on the composition share of technologies. Policymakers in emerging economies can use the findings to shape R&D strategies to develop the renewable energy sector and provide an alternative method of evaluating the qualitative development of technology.
