In their paper 'Does more stringent environmental regulation induce or reduce technology adoption? When the rate of technology adoption is inverted U-shaped' Grischa Perino (CSERGE) and Till Requate (University of Kiel, Germany) show that for many abatement technologies the adoption incentives are non-monotonic in the stringency of environmental policy. Once environmental regulation becomes sufficiently stringent, adoption incentives and hence diffusion rates are decreasing in stringency.
