202 - ERF W 3 P s - Technological Innovation and Climate Change Mitigation:

Abstract The main objective of our study is to examine the relationship between technological innovation and environmental sustainability in the case of MENA countries during the period 1990 to 2019. [...] (2019) explore the linkage between the development of patents as a proxy of technological innovation and CO2 emissions in the case of OECD countries between 1996 and 2015.

[...] The advantages of these statistics are both the integration of heterogeneities in the case of panel data and the correction of the bias related to endogenous variables.
