In th is article\, we aim to determine the impact of green technology developmen t on total factor productivity of European regions. Our paper contributes to the literature on technological change and regional growth in various w ays. i) Our paper is\, to the best of our knowledge\, the first to assess the specific role of green technologies for regional growth on a broad emp irical base. ii) We advance methodologically on the pertinent literature b y explicitly accounting for cross-sectional dependence in our empirical ap proach. iii) By providing a simple theoretical framework\, we directly lin k our results to implications of environmental policies for capital accumu lation and composition dynamics\, contributing to the ongoing debate revol ving around the strong version of the Porter hypothesis. Our results\, bas ed on a sample of 270 European NUTS-2 regions over 25 years\, imply that g eneral technology development is mostly associated with positive economic returns\, but our data is not supportive of positive economic returns to g reen technologies.\nSpeakers:\nDr Tobias Wendler (University of Bremen) LOCATION:Manor Road Building (Seminar Room G and online via Zoom (Please r egister to attend both virtually and in person))\, Manor Road OX1 3UQ TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/0a9c2383-2be5-413e-8d8c-8b48b6c8706e/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Green Technologies\, Environmental Policy and Regional Gr owth - Dr Tobias Wendler (University of Bremen) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
