Knowing brown and inventing green? : incremental and radical innovative activities in the automotive sector

Mazzei, Julia; Rughi, Tommaso; Virgillito, Maria Enrica - 2022

the extent to which different stocks and combinations of knowledge might explain such heterogeneity in innovative efforts … and positioning in the landscape. Our results suggest that a stock of ''brown'' knowledge closely related to ''green …'' knowledge proves to be valuable for firm's success in each trajectory. Moreover, firms with a broad array of different knowledge …

Climate change and labour-saving technologies: The twin transition via patent texts

Rughi, Tommaso; Staccioli, Jacopo; Virgillito, Maria Enrica - 2023

This paper provides a direct understanding of the twin transition from the innovative activity domain. It starts with a technological mapping of the technological innovations characterised by both climate change mitigation/adaptation (green) and labour-saving attributes. To accomplish the task,...

Back to the past: the historical roots of labour-saving automation

Staccioli, Jacopo; Virgillito, Maria Enrica - 2020

This paper, relying on a still relatively unexplored long-term dataset on U.S. patenting activity, provides empirical evidence on the history of labour-saving innovations back to early 19th century. The identification of mechanisation/automation heuristics, retrieved via textual content analysis...

Labour-Saving Automation and Occupational Exposure: A Text-Similarity Measure

Montobbio, Fabio; Staccioli, Jacopo; Virgillito, Maria … - 2021

This paper represents one of the first attempts at building a direct measure of occupational exposure to robotic labour-saving technologies. After identifying robotic and LS robotic patents retrieved by Montobbio et al. (2022), the underlying 4-digit CPC definitions are employed in order to...
