摘要

Social spillovers are considered a key feature of technological diffiusion. In presenceof cultural barriers, social spillovers may, however, be hampered. In this paper, weexploit exogenous cultural borders and a quasi-natural experiment to investigate therole of social spillovers in the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. Withdata on about 19,000 solar PV systems, we assess whether proximity to a languageborder implies a lower rate of PV adoption. The results conrm that the culturalborder hinders social spillovers. Following the implementation of a nationwide feed-intariffi fundamentally changing the nancial protability of solar PV, we nd a divergencein the rate of adoption between municipalities located very close to the border, andothers located further away. This effiect is, however, moderated by the proportion ofinhabitants speaking the language of the other side of the border as main language athome. The effiects measured in this paper are persistent over time, and consistent withthe role of localized social spillovers in the adoption of clean technologies. The numberof "missing" PV adoptions resulting from the language border is non-negligible, as theborder leads to 20% less PV adoptions.
