| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Further development of environmental technologies is considered important for climate change mitigation. However, these technologies tend to require high costs in the phase of research and development (R&D). Moreover, one country’s knowledge acquired through R&D spills over into others, which causes a free-rider problem. From the above reasons, each country may not conduct sufficient level of R&D individually and voluntarily. In order to solve this problem, the mechanism, which promotes multilateral technology collaboration in the R&D phase, is considered necessary: hereafter, we call it an international technology agreement. In this research, I revealed some conditions under which an international technology agreement will function effectively.
