We model a market with environmentally conscious consumers and a duopoly
in which firms consider the adoption of a clean technology. We show that as
pollution increases, consumers shift more resources to the environmental
activities, thereby affecting negatively the demand faced by the duopoly. This
effect generates incentives for firms to adopt the clean technology even in the
absence of emissions taxes. When such taxes are considered, our results indicate
that the benefit of adopting the clean technology is initially increasing and then
decreasing in the emission tax. The range of values for which the emission tax
increases this benefit becomes narrower when the consumers’ environmental
awareness is stronger. [-]
