The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between green industrial policies and domestic biofuel production among OECD countries. The analysis builds on a data set including 24 OECD countries over the time period 2000–2016. This panel is estimated using a variant of the so-called Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood model and includes the mix of demand-pull (biofuel blending mandates) and technology-push policies (government R&D), as well as the interaction between these two types of instruments. The results suggest a positive relationship between blending mandates and domestic biofuel production. Thus, a more stringent blending mandate does not only increase the use of biofuels, but also domestic production (as a share of total fuel use). Government R&D has not, however, induced domestic biofuel industrialization processes. The results even suggest a negative interaction effect between government R&D and blending mandates, in turn implying that these two polices target different technological fields. The blending mandates tend to primarily favor commercialized first-generation biofuels, while government support to biofuel R&D has instead been focused on advanced biofuel technology.

本文旨在研究经合组织国家绿色产业政策与国内生物燃料生产之间的关系。该分析建立在包括 2000-2016 年期间 24 个经合组织国家的数据集之上。该面板使用所谓的泊松伪最大似然模型的变体进行估计，包括需求拉动（生物燃料混合指令）和技术推动政策（政府研发）的组合，以及这两者之间的相互作用乐器的种类。结果表明混合指令与国内生物燃料生产之间存在正相关关系。因此，更严格的混合指令不仅会增加生物燃料的使用，还会增加国内生产（占总燃料使用量的份额）。然而，政府研发并未引发国内生物燃料工业化进程。结果甚至表明政府研发和混合授权之间存在负面交互作用，反过来意味着这两种政策针对不同的技术领域。混合指令倾向于主要支持商业化的第一代生物燃料，而政府对生物燃料研发的支持则侧重于先进的生物燃料技术。
