E.E.Gasimzade: Influence of oil prices on innovation in renewable energy sector

renewable energy policies, but in short term the effect is higher than 2 years‟ term.
As conclusion, although some other factors should be researched further – like
patent history of companies (whether they keep their innovation levels) or
government policies, renewable energy sector in terms of innovation seems to be
influenced by oil prices.
