Substantial policy effort is devoted to stimulate environmentally friendly technology through regulation and subsidies. Since innovation is a crucial productivity driver, a potential crowding out of inventive efforts in affected firms may increase the cost of regulation. We study the effects of regulation-induced environmental technology on innovation activities for a sample of firms in Germany. We find some evidence for a crowding out of firms' in-house R&D, especially for firms facing financing constraints. Innovation outcomes and investments in innovation-related fixed assets are not affected. Moreover, subsidy-backed environmental technology does not crowd out R&D.
