Often, the leadership in technological development is accompanied by a leadership in environmental policy. The book provides an analysis of lead markets for innovations such as fuel cells, photovoltaics, and others. Contributions of innovation economics, policy analysis and environmental economics are assessed regarding their potential to explain the leadership of single countries. The book depicts the policy frameworks that are favourable to the creation of such lead markets on the basis of theoretical considerations and case studies. Finally, recommendations for R and D policies, environmental and industrial policies are derived Analysis economie economics bedrijfswetenschap management science onderzoeksbeleid research policy technologie technology milieueconomie environmental economics Management studies, Business Administration, Organizational Science (General) Economics (General) Management, bedrijfskunde, organisatiekunde (algemeen) Economie (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-272) Notes Print version record Subject Technological innovations -- Economic aspects Technological innovations -- Environmental aspects Industries -- Environmental aspects.
