“…As long as the ES surpasses 1156 enterprises, diversified agglomeration will stimulate the increase of EIE and the promoting effect will increase first and then decrease. This outcome supports the viewpoints of Meili and Shearmur [65] and Lee and Sohh [66], indicating that diversified agglomeration could positively affect innovation, while it is very different from the finding of Zeng et al [26], showing that industrial collaborative agglomeration has a U-shaped impact on green innovation (eco-innovation).…”

“…The 14th five-year plan issued by the Chinese government in 2020 pointed out that China should unswervingly implement the five development concepts of "innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing", adhere to the innovation-driven development strategy, and promote the construction of ecological civilization [24,25]. From the macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic perspectives, scholars have also explored how to accelerate eco-innovation from different dimensions, such as industrial agglomeration [26], environmental regulation [27][28][29], regional innovation system [30], and corporate social responsibility [31]. Regarding the aspect of the industry, most studies on eco-innovation have mainly focused on the manufacturing industry for it is the most major source of environmental pollution emissions and energy consumption, and firms in the manufacturing industry have a higher eco-innovation tendency than those in other industries [32].…”

Eco-innovation is the main driver of realizing the coordinated development of resource, environmental and economic systems. This paper measures regional eco-innovation efficiency (EIE) by using the Super-Slack Based Measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs and distinguishes different agglomeration patterns based on Chinese data of 21 manufacturing sub-industries of 30 provinces. In particular, from the perspective of the dynamic evolution of manufacturing agglomeration, the nonlinear effects of specialized and diversified agglomeration on EIE are investigated based on panel threshold regression models. The results indicate that China’s EIE shows a U-shaped changing trend. The impacts of specialized and diversified agglomeration on EIE are nonlinear and have significant three-threshold effects. There exist a U-shaped relationship between specialized agglomeration and EIE, and an S-shaped relationship between diversified agglomeration and EIE. In terms of eco-innovation, the development of diversified agglomeration is superior to that of specialized agglomeration. Overall, there is still much room for more than 70% of provinces in China to increase their EIE by optimizing the layout of manufacturing specialized and diversified agglomeration. To improve the EIE and achieve sustainable economic growth, differentiated agglomeration policies should be formulated in various stages and regions. In addition, the driving mechanism of eco-innovation should be strengthened.

“…In the face of competition threats, strategies promoting product innovation and capturing market share are encouraged for enhancing product market competition [38]. The relationship between product market competition level and innovation activities is not monotonic [39] containing variables within R&D investment, information asymmetry, trade secrecy, market access and risk, external competition, industrial collaborative agglomeration and so on [40]. However, a higher level of R&D and innovation is widely supported by empirical evidence and academic literature.…”

The hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) industry has great potential growth due to its multifaceted characteristics, however, challenged by the imbalance between the rapid agricultural production growth and the inadequate market. Against the manifesting functional overlapping and homogeneous competition among regions and nations, multi-regional synergistic development strategies of the hemp industry are critical for a sustainable agricultural-industrial system. To propose development strategies and R&D priorities of the hemp agricultural system for multi-regional synergistic development of the hemp industry. A nationwide survey and a SWOT analysis were carried out within five major production provinces in China, which is one of the largest producers of hemp, including Yunnan, Heilongjiang, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Jilin. Legislation, distribution, yield and utilization status and their effect on the development of industrial hemp in China were discussed. The SWOT analysis suggested that the negative effects of weaknesses and threats are stronger than the positive effects of strengths and opportunities. The modern hemp industry is still in an early phase of development characterized by the emerging legislation, growing acreage, initial researches and a few applications that pertain to mainstream use in China. Therefore, strategy recommendations, including top-level design, participating in global competition, promoting innovation and enhancing public cooperation, were proposed. We provide strategies for enhancing the hemp agricultural-industrial system, thus enabling policy makers and researchers to master the priority of promoting economic corporation and agricultural science and technology innovation.

“…As illustrated in Table 1, diverse studies on innovation efficiency adopt innovation costs and R&D personnel as inputs, and sales as outputs [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. This study captures innovation costs and R&D personnel as inputs, and total sales as the output, as in previous studies (see Figure 5).…”

Due to safety issues in the construction industry, interest in research on occupational safety and health (OSH) regulations remains high. Previous studies indicated that OSH regulations not only affect performance in and of themselves, but also indirectly by increasing awareness of such regulations. Studies also demonstrated that OSH regulation can affect innovation and corporate safety. However, the effect of OSH regulation on innovation remains unclear, as the relationship between the perception of OSH regulation and innovation is not fully understood. This study measures the innovation efficiency of companies in the Korean construction industry using data envelopment analysis (DEA), and investigates the relationship between innovation efficiency and companies’ perceptions of OSH regulations. Results indicate that companies that positively recognize OSH regulations tend to be more innovative than those that do not. This study also validates differences in innovation efficiency depending on the perception of OSH regulations by bootstrap DEA. The results of this study suggest appropriate strategies to promote innovation in the construction industry from the perspectives of both government and practitioners in firms.
