摘要：
As the urgency of addressing climate change continues to increase, national, state, and local governments are increasingly willing to offer incentives to consumers who purchase innovative durable products that have smaller environmental footprints. We identify the trade-off between current adoptions and the development of improved technology that arises when governments offer such incentives, which typically take the form of either rebates or tax credits. We study two types of rebate structures: a short-term rebate that has a large cash value but is available for only a relatively short time window and a long-term rebate that has a lower cash value but is available for a longer time window. The short-term rebate certainly speeds up the adoption rate, but this may also discourage manufacturers from investing in technological innovation that will lead to future product improvements. For a given budget constraint, a long-term rebate avoids this pitfall but may also lead to fewer total adoptions. Using a durable goods framework, we explore the conditions under which the total environmental benefit is larger when the government offers a short- versus long-term rebate. We also show that the choice of the rebate structure derived from having a higher adoption rate might lead to a lower total environmental benefit.
