To display the size and timing of the effects suggested by our model parame-
terisations, we explore the consequences of a series of hypothetical shocks to our
explanatory variables of interest. We focus on Germany in 2002, considering what
path patenting would have taken in the years 2002
2009 if the country had
increased deployment and RD&D individually by one standard deviation. We also
consider the effects of a joint increase. The actual magnitudes of these hypothetical
shocks are presented in Table 7 .

3.1 Effect of Only RD&D Support
Increasing RD&D support by one standard deviation over a period of time has a
substantial impact on patenting in this technology. Figure 10 demonstrates the effect
for RD&D. An increase in solar RDD by 17 mn Euro per year from 2002 on would
