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%

The main objectives of this project are to bridge the gap between trade and innovation in the context of environmental goods and to provide insights into the use of international trade to promote green innovation. By analysing Italian NUTS3 regions, the project firstly aims to develop a new classification of environmentally traded goods, which is lacking in the literature at this level of geograph

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

The literature on the effects of robot adoption is very recent
