CLIMATE POLICY AND FIRMS’ BEHAVIOUR: WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM MICRODATA?
PROF CORRADO DI MARIA
SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS
Climate policy often suffers from pushback by businesses worried about increases in costs and loss of competitiveness. Firms, however, are incredibly heterogenous and a lot can be learned by looking more closely at large firm-level datasets. In this lecture, Prof Di Maria will discuss recent research on cost pass-through, efficiency and innovation, and the ways in which firms may end up benefiting from climate policy.
