The aim of this paper is to study whether the green technological specialization of host R&D regions shapes the green innovativeness of top R&D performers. Indeed, the worldâ¿¿s leading corporate R&D investors play a crucial role in driving climate-related innovation on a global scale, accounting for 70% of patent applications in climate change mitigation or adaptation technologies, compared to 63%

By means of a knowledge production function we estimate the green tech innovation capabilities of highly inventive multinational enterprises (MNEs). We explore the sensitivity of this relationship to the strength of environmental protection enforcement (EPE) across the MNEs R&D subsidiaries. We argue that MNE environmental innovative performance will be enhanced when the firmâ¿¿s patent and R&D acti

This project explores the hypothesis that KIBS have differential impacts on regional innovation capacity depending on the stage of technology life-cycle, and of the attending know-how. The empirical analysis focuses on Italian regions (NUTS 2) over the period 2000-2017. Using patent data to identify the life-cycle stages (from emergence to maturity) and employment data to compute the location quot

A first target of the analysis would be to evaluate the role of green innovation as a potential driver of green competitiveness in the world trade. While most previous research has focused on exploring separately the drivers of green trade (Can et al., 2021) and those of green innovation (Aboelmaged and Hashem, 2019), we will concentrate on how useful the interaction between the two can be in maki
