This study contributes to the growing literature on environmental innovation by offering novel cross-country evidence on how climate vulnerability shapes green innovation. While existing research has extensively examined the influence of regulatory frameworks, market forces, and technological...

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a driver of growth in both developed and developing countries, as it enables the transfer of know-how and advanced technologies to host economies. This policy note discusses how FDI can effectively support innovation and green growth within the European...

Based on panel data from 276 Chinese cities between 2004 and 2021 and applying a difference-in-differences approach, this study explores the relationship between the New Energy Demonstration City (NEDC) policy and local green technological innovation (GTI) capabilities, along with its mechanisms...

Green technologies are innovative methods for reducing environmental impact and enhancing resource efficiency, thereby significantly promoting sustainable power production. This comprehensive review has been discussed the significant impact of energy management and green technology on advancing...

How are preferences for innovation formed, and what determines the long-run direction of technological change? This paper shows that early-life exposure to environmental accidents can durably reorient inventive effort decades later, even in the absence of targeted policy. I study radioactive...

Public acceptance has influenced the evolution of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Europe. To study the mechanisms behind this, we use evolutionary game theory where the governmental policy towards CCS, such as subsidies to the industry, is dependent on public acceptance. Public acceptance...

In this article, we compare adoption preferences for three important clean energy technologies-rooftop solar PV, heat pumps and electric vehicles using primary data from a nationally representative household survey in Ireland. The survey questionnaire explored a wide range of techno-economic,...

Green investment has emerged as a crucial tool for sustainable development, but its determinants across heterogeneous regional contexts remain inadequately understood. This study examines determinants of green investment across Chinese provinces, focusing on R&D intensity, pollution control...

Using panel data encompassing 282 cities across China from 2010 to 2022, this study delves into the ramifications of government environmental concern on green technological innovation, with a focus on intellectual property (IP) protection. It elucidates the mechanisms through which government...

Green technology innovation (GTI) is crucial for enhancing the resource utilization of construction and demolition waste (CDW). However, consumer resistance to products made from recycled CDW significantly constrains their advancement. Existing studies largely emphasize government policies and...

Literature supports the notion that green human resource management (HRM), an emerging and effective HRM strategy, leads to superior environmental performance. Yet, insufficient attention has been paid to whether green HRM can improve organisations' green innovation, and on the impact that...

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a driver of growth in both developed and developing countries, as it enables the transfer of know-how and advanced technologies to host economies. This policy note discusses how FDI can effectively support innovation and green growth within the European...

This study addresses the pressing challenge of transitioning to a low-carbon economy in BRICS nations by investigating the role of green finance policies in enhancing energy efficiency and driving sustainable economic growth. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of green credit...

Digital innovation ecosystems (DIEs) are increasingly recognized as critical to regional green technological innovation (GTI), supporting ecological protection and sustainable development. This study uses panel qualitative comparative analysis (Panel-QCA) on data from 31 Chinese provinces...

Promoting green and low-carbon innovation (GCI) with digitalization is important to achieve carbon peaking and neutrality goals and would accelerate low-carbon transformation. Digital technology embeddedness (DTE) disrupts traditional business innovation patterns, but its ability to steer...

How to motivate enterprises to formulate green technology (GT) innovation is crucial for promoting green development and minimizing pollution control costs. This research employs a quasi-experimental approach to analyze the impact of environmental tax reform (ETR) on corporate innovation...

Community grants have increasingly been recognized for their role in promoting green innovation. The Small Grants Program (SGP) funds communities to get involved in environmental issues, bridging political declarations with tangible actions. We employed a difference-in-differences method to...

This study explores the externalities caused by managerial myopia from the perspective of carbon emissions in urban areas. Using panel data from 194 Chinese cities and 1 286 listed companies from 2012 to 2021, this study empirically examines the effect of managerial myopia on urban carbon...

The target responsibility system of environmental protection, introduced during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, is a key feature of China's environmental regulation policy framework. Guided by the principle of high-quality development, this system addresses the challenge of incentivizing green...

China's low-carbon city pilot policy (LCCPP) plays a crucial role in reducing carbon pollution and promoting green development. It stimulates enterprises' green innovation (GI), such as through the promotion of circular carbon technologies and energy-efficient practices. However, a negative...

Green investments (GIs) in the energy industry are crucial for driving a clean energy transition and fostering environmental sustainability. In the digital economy era, insufficient attention has been paid to digital finance's (DF's) influence on GIs in energy enterprises, potentially...
