An article with the title The impact of the EU Emissions Trading System on low-carbon technological change: The empirical evidence, by Jordi Teixidó, Stefano F. Verde and Francesco Nicolli, has been published in the Ecological Economics journal.

Based on chapter 4 of the LIFE SIDE assessment report, the article reviews the empirical literature analysing the effects of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) on low-carbon technological change. The emerging evidence is assessed, with references to both relevant economic concepts and the evolving regulation of the EU ETS through the years.
