      abstract = {This paper surveys the existing literature on diffusion of  environmentally beneficial technology. Overall, it confirms  many of the lessons of the larger literature on technology  diffusion: diffusion often appears slow when viewed from  the outside; the flow of information is an important factor  in the diffusion process; networks and organisations can  matter; behavioural factors such as values and cognitive  biases also play a role. With respect to policy  instruments, there is some evidence that the flexibility of  market-based instruments can have a beneficial impact on  technology diffusion, but there are also numerous cases in  which regulations have forced the adoption of new  technologies. There would be significant benefit to  increased investment in studies that look at questions such  as the role of information provision, networks and framing  issues in households’ and firms’ adoption decisions.},
