Buying Votes with Discriminative Support for Renewable-Energy Technologies - 2015.
58
This paper uses a political-economy model to explain the discriminative support for some renewable technologies, for example photovoltaic. A two-party model is used to show how subsidies for technologies that are installed by voting households can incentivize swing voters to vote for a party. It is in the interest of both the incumbent and the opposition party to propose discriminative support, even if it is highly inefficient. JEL-codes : P48, Q42, Q48, Q54
