Energy‐saving Technology Choices by Dutch Glasshouse Firms
利用1991-1995年荷兰温室企业的面板数据，估计了企业节能技术的序列选择，发现正向收入冲击和能源价格上涨促进新技术采用，而建筑资本投入则降低采用概率。
Abstract This paper estimates a sequence of energy‐saving technology choices by Dutch glasshouse firms. The model allows for time‐constant, firm‐specific effects and serial correlation of errors and it is estimated on panel data over the period 1991–1995. The unobserved error sequences are simulated in the model in such a way that they are consistent with the observed choices. The results suggest that positive revenue shocks encourage adoption of new technologies. The choices also exhibit firm‐specific persistency over time. An increase of the price of energy encourages the adoption of a highly efficient energy‐saving technology. The probability of investing in energy‐saving technologies also decreases with capital invested in structures (e.g. double glazing of glasshouses) and increases with capital in energy installations.
