2) Smart policy incentives matter – If RECs reduce overall energy system costs, they should be supported with preferential tariffs. Crucially, these tariffs don’t necessarily disadvantage those who can't join a REC, provided electricity prices accurately reflect costs.

Here are two key takeaways: 1) Local consumption is crucial – The benefits of RECs largely depend on their degree of collective self-consumption, meaning how much of the locally produced energy is consumed within the community.

Our model examines both how RECs interact with the energy system and how they are internally structured.

RECs stand out because: 1️⃣ Members jointly own the renewable production asset. 2️⃣ Energy is produced close to where it’s consumed, enabling a short supply chain with potential system-wide benefits.

Excited to share our new paper in Resource and Energy Economics, with @JacqminJulien and @jcpoudou, where we explore how Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) integrate into the broader energy system. https://t.co/5xELS74xg8

Les #prosumers ont-ils une influence sur le vote ? C’est le sujet de notre papier avec @frankverboven @olidg Lien:

Our main result is to show that acquisition increases the innovation effort of the acquirer but only temporarily. After 1.5 year, there is no longer a significant impact of the acquisition on the acquirer's innovation effort. 5/6

An increase in citations by the acquirer, controlling for patents’ characteristics and life-cycle trends, means that the acquirer develops the startup’s technology further. On the contrary, a decline in citations means that the technology is progressively being shelved . 4/6

Our focus is on technologies not on products. We investigate whether an acquisition by a big tech contributes to the technology development. Technologies are protected by patents and patent citation is used as a proxy for innovation effort. 3/6

Many papers (@Luise_Eis @reinholdkesler @AffeldtPauline) have shown that products are often no longer developed after acquisition but what about technologies? My contribution with @JoeLamesch: https://t.co/Sd89njnevo in @IEP_Journal 2/6
