Clean energy technologies that cost more than fossil fuel technologies require support through research and development (R&D). 

​

We investigate how governments can support the development and diffusion of these technologies through the combination of regulatory mandates and economic incentives in the form of production/consumption subsidies.

​

The results of our research points out several valuable lessons for policy makers in designing cost-effective subsidy programs that can benefit clean energy technologies the most.
