journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 12:56 authored by Michael Dunford, Kyoung Hoon Lee, Weidong Liu, Godfrey YeungThe trajectories of the German and Chinese photovoltaic industries differ significantly yet are strongly interdependent. Germany has seen a rapid growth in market demand and a strong increase in production, especially in the less developed eastern half of the country. Chinese growth has been export driven. These contrasting trajectories reflect the roles of market creation, investment and credit and the drivers of innovation and competitiveness. Consequent differences in competiveness have generated major trade disputes.
