“…In 2008 alone, the 12 DOE labs, along with the five other national labs, engaged in more than 12,000 technology transfer transactions. These included more than 2500 Work for Others agreements, 2800 user facility agreements, 700 Collaborative Research and Development Agreements, and more than 6000 licences for patented technologies (Perry 2010). In addition, the labs reported more than 1400 new inventions and filed close to 1000 new patent applications (Perry 2010).…”

This article aims to contribute to comparative capitalisms debates about the nature of the so-called liberal-market economy/coordinated-market economy divide by drawing attention to the extent and nature of the developmental state apparatus being deployed in Washington's efforts to develop markets for novel climate and energy technologies. Against the deluge of literatures in comparative capitalisms debates which suggest that liberal market economies typically breed 'radical' innovation cycles based on the relative absence of states, internal corporate hierarchies, and competitive market arrangements, this article uses a regulationist framework to understand how critical tensions and contradictions inherent to liberal market economies serve to engender new forms of direct state intervention, particularly within the innovation process. Building on Block's (2008) concept of a 'hidden developmental network state' emerging in Washington beginning in the late 1970s, this article explores the tensions that have led to the use of such developmental policies in the climate and energy realms, and provides a description of how these policies function.

This paper is motivated by a need to move research into application, specifically in the utility industry. There are many challenges facing the industry: an aging infrastructure, a growing population, and aggressive energy efficiency targets are just a few examples. Many technologies exist or are in development but the rate at which they are being adopted is slow. Despite a clear need to apply research results to the utility industry, a cursory review of how research proposals are evaluated within the utility industry confirms that technology transfer is only peripherally addressed. In addition, there is no mechanism to quantitatively assess the technology transfer potential of a research proposal. The goal of this paper is to develop an assessment model that can be used to identify the technology transfer potential of a research proposal. By doing so, an organization can select the proposals whose research outcomes are more likely to move into application.
