SUMMARY:Research Seminar: The Emergence and Diffusion of Green Technologies: Firm-level Evidence from Textual Analysis of Patents and Corporate Reports
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. 	Speaker: Lucio Castro \, Ph.D. \, The World Bank 	Location: Perkins Conference Room R-429-B / Zoom 	Whether attending in person or online please register in advance. 	Speaker Bio: Lucio Castro is a Senior Economist in the Global Investment Climate Unit of the World Bank Group’s Finance\, Competitiveness\, and Innovation Global Practice. Previously\, he worked at IFC Economic and Market Research and Impact Evaluation Departments. Prior to joining the World Bank Group\, he served in various roles\, including Vice-Minister in the Ministry of Production of Argentina\, Alternate Executive Director at the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB)\, and Director of Economic Development at CIPPEC. He was a visiting scholar and research fellow at Harvard’s Center for International Development (CID)\, receiving the Fulbright Nexus Scholarship. He worked as economic advisor in Latin America\, Africa\, Asia\, and the Middle East for the IDB\, European Commission\, DfID\, GDN\, CAF\, and national and sub-national governments. Lucio is also Associated Professor at Universidad Austral and Affiliated Researcher with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) SME Initiative. He holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Sussex and a Masters from Columbia University. 	Paper Abstract: We draw on the textual analysis of patents and corporate reports matched with multi-country\, firm-level panel data for the period 2012-2021 to uncover new stylized facts on the emergence and diffusion of green technologies across countries\, sectors\, and firms.  We document a growing importance of green technologies after 2019\, Among initially high-emissions firms\, those that mentioned green technologies tend to observe a decline in carbon emissions in subsequent years. Buyer-supplier relationships and innovation partnerships with these firms\, especially when they had high-emissions intensity\, are systematically linked with the diffusion of green technologies.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Did the 2022 Global Energy Crisis Accelerate the Diffusion of Low-Carbon Technologies?
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. 	Speaker: Jacob Greenspon\, Ph.D. Candidate in the University of Oxford 	Coauthored with Paulo Bastos\, Katherine Stapleton\, and Daria Taglioni (World Bank) 	Location: Democracy Lab R-414 AB / Zoom 	Whether attending in person or online please register in advance. 	Speaker Bio: Jacob is a doctoral student in Economics at the University of Oxford and Research Coordinator at the Harvard Kennedy School Reimagining the Economy Project. He has consulted on energy transition research at Resources for the Future\, the World Bank\, and the Institute for Research on Public Policy and worked as an economist for several think tanks and governments in the US and Canada. 	Paper Abstract: This paper develops measures of the diffusion of a comprehensive range of low-carbon technologies in 35 countries from 2019 to 2022 using text analysis of job postings and earnings calls transcripts. It documents a rapid acceleration in the diffusion of low-carbon technologies in 2022–with hiring in related roles doubling from 2019–that is driven by technologies related to renewable energy\, vehicles\, thermal performance\, and electrical generation and storage. Rapid growth occurred in three quarters of the countries studied and 228 of 300 subnational regions\, although was fastest in Europe. It studies the role of the global energy crisis in triggering this accelerated technology diffusion\, focusing on 16 advanced economies. It finds that establishments in countries that had a higher pre-crisis dependence on imports of natural gas\, and were thus more exposed to the price shock\, differentially increased hiring for low-carbon technology related roles from March 2022 onwards. Within more exposed countries\, establishments with a higher pre-crisis energy intensity also saw a differential increase in hiring relative to less energy intensive ones.
