      abstract = {This report presents three case studies to illustrate the  relationship between environmental policy and technological  innovation. They cover abatement technologies for  wastewater effluent from pulp production, abatement of  motor vehicle emissions, and development of renewable  energy technologies. On the basis of patent data, the  nature, extent, and causes of innovation in each of these  areas are explored. While a particular focus has been  placed on the role of environmental policy in bringing  about the innovation documented, it is recognized that  other factors play a key role in inducing innovation that  has positive environmental implications.--Publisher's  description.},
