“…Wang, Feng, et al (2022) examined the correlation between political ideology and national greenhouse gas emissions and showed that left‐wing governments play an influential role in the reduction of CO 2 emissions. In an exploration of the relationship between environmental ethics and environmental innovation, Aftab et al (2022) found that corporate environmental ethics can create an environment that promotes environmental innovation and that there is a positive relationship between the two. Rui and Lu (2021) investigated the relationship between environmental ethics and environmental innovation and observed that firms with a high level of environmental ethics are more willing to invest in ecological protection and are more confident in dealing with environmental issues.…”

How and when internal and external sources of knowledge impact green innovation outcomes for sustainable development remain unclear. This study goes beyond examining their direct effects and takes a multifaceted approach to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how the two sources of knowledge influence sustainable development outcomes. This includes exploring the balanced effect and combined effect of the two sources of knowledge, as well as the synergistic effect of the balanced and combined fits. Furthermore, from the perspective of contingency, this study also proposes a non-linear moderating role of interpersonal relationspecific investments in the knowledge source-green innovation link. Based on the survey of Chinese heavily polluted and high energy-consuming industry, adopting regression analysis and hierarchical moderated method to test the hypotheses, our findings show that not only the two sources of knowledge boost green innovation outcomes, but the balanced and combined fits of them can also promote green innovation outcomes. Moreover, high levels of balanced and combined fits can yield synergistic effect. In addition, the non-linear moderating effects of the external/internal interpersonal relation-specific investments are also revealed. Thus, this research expands our integrated understanding of knowledge sources mainly by unveiling the balanced and combined fits of them, and their synergistic benefits as well as the inverted U moderating effect of the interpersonal relation-specific investments in green innovation.

“…However, the economy also has a negative effects on the environment through its byproducts such as waste and emissions. The manufacturing process is dependent on the utilization of natural resources, while simultaneously contributing to environmental stress (Aftab et al 2022 ; Asiamah et al 2022 ; Filimonova et al 2020 ). There is a vicious cycle caused by the deterioration of environmental quality, which impacts not just the quality and quantity of accessible resources as well as the psychological and physical well-being of people (Davidson et al 2021 ; OECD 2016 ).…”

This study explores the relationship between the resource productivity and environmental degradation in European Union-27 countries. This study tests this relationship in context of high, moderate, and low material footprint sub-samples; these samples are formed utilizing the expectation–maximization machine learning algorithm. Using the panel data set of EU-27 countries from 2000 to 2020, linear and non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) are applied for the symmetric and asymmetric evidence and to test environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), linear ARDL with the quadratic function is included. Results of the symmetric relationship find evidence of resource productivity’s impact on the environmental degradation. In full sample of EU-27, both symmetric and asymmetric methods show that the short run and long run increase of resource productivity lower the environmental degradation. Only long run asymmetric relationship in high material footprint subsamples supports that the resource productivity controls environmental degradation. Results of moderate material footprint sub-sample are mixed. However, low material footprint countries show that resource productivity in long run controls the environmental degradation in symmetry and only positive resource controls productivity in short run in asymmetric relationship. The reason for mixed results is the quadratic nature of sub-samples. EKC hypothesis is validated in moderate and low material footprint sub-samples. This research has many policy implications.
