Beyond Technology Push vs. Demand Pull: The Evolution of Solar Policy in the U.S., Germany and China
An ongoing debate for the timing of adoption of new technologies has been over the relative contribution of two types of factors, broadly categorized as ?technology push? and ?demand pull.? The former factors include both the availability of a new technology, its maturity, and its relative advantage, while the latter relate to the degree of unmet need and the awareness of the new technology. This contrast has been drawn in predictive studies for innovation adoption [2] and normative recommendations to managers [3]. For public policy research, the relative importance of these two categories has suggested efforts to support R&D and other technology development, or to encourage demand through subsidies and other incentives [4]?[6].
