“…The main finding is that local environmentrelated innovation are positively correlated with a knowledge base that is diversified across unrelated technological fields. This is coherent with the notion that green technology is on average more radical and complex than non-green technology, and that it requires a higher variety across cognitively distant domains (De Marchi, 2012; Barbieri, Marzucchi, and Rizzo, 2018).…”

“…The result is in line with studies that emphasise the different nature of green technologies. Barbieri, Marzucchi, and Rizzo (2018) provide evidence of the higher complexity of green innovation, suggesting that the recombination process in the green field requires bits of knowledge with higher cognitive distance. Here we observe this peculiar feature of green technologies from a local perspective.…”

“…First, green technology development exhibits stronger association with unrelated variety than with related variety. This is not surprising considering that, first, the transition towards environmentally sustainable production is still at early stages (OECD, 2015) and, second, that green technology, being more complex than non-green technology, requires the orchestration of diverse and cognitively distant knowledge inputs (Barbieri, Marzucchi, and Rizzo, 2018). The second key finding is that unrelated variety has stronger association with the early stages of the green technology life cycle, while related variety becomes more important as technology enters into maturity.…”

“…This finding resonates with the descriptive analysis of the rankings in the previous subsections, where the performance of emerging countries in green innovation has been commented on. It also resonates with the recombinant nature of the technology at hand, and the fact that green patents exhibit more diversity of technical components and of know-how relative to non-green ones (Barbieri, Marzucchi, and Rizzo, 2018). Openness to trade and strategic specialization in key components for green technologies are thus likely to enable middle-income countries to accelerate in the pursuit of environmental innovation.…”

“…Utterback (1994). At early stages, variety is highest and each prototype technology carries a set of characteristics whose effectiveness cannot be judged ex-ante because, at least in evolutionary accounts of the story, the selection environment co-evolves together with the contestants (Adner and Kapoor, 2015;Barbieri, Marzucchi, and Rizzo, 2018).…”

with my co-authors, I would like to thank the three anonymous reviewers who provided useful comments and suggestions. Chapter 7 is derived from a paper co-authored with Gianluca Orsatti, Davide Consoli and Francesco Quatraro, titled "Public procurement, local labour markets and green technological change: Evidence from US Commuting Zones". I would like to thank them for taking on board a non-economist and introducing him to the world of econometrics. This paper was in the process of revision and resubmission to Environmental and Resource Economics when this thesis was completed. Chapter 5 and 6 are based on papers co-authored with Davide Consoli and Nicolò Barbieri. The first one is titled "Specialisation, diversification and the ladder of green technology" and has been submitted to Research Policy, the second one "Specialization, diversification and environmental technology life-cycle" is under review for Economic Geography. Both papers and this dissertation would not have been possible without the contribution and dedication of Davide and Nicolò, to whom I would like to reiterate my heartfelt gratitude. v

Linking stakeholder and competitive pressure to Industry 4.0 and performance: Mediating effect of environmental commitment and green process innovation

In the recent few years, with an increase in focus on sustainability, firms have been actively pursuing different strategies to contribute towards sustainability. Industry 4.0 (I4) technologies can help organizations to achieve superior environmental as well as economic performance. Through the lens of stakeholder theory (ST) and Schumpeterian view of competition (SCV), this paper examines whether stakeholder and competitive pressures towards sustainability stimulate organizations to implement I4 technologies and commensurate performance outcomes. The study further tests the mediating role of environmental commitment and green process innovation (GPI) on these relationships. The proposed hypotheses are examined using the survey data from 173 manufacturing firms in India by partial least squares (PLS) approach.Findings show that environmental commitment mediates the effect of stakeholder and competitive pressures on I4 technologies. Further, results also show that GPI mediates between I4 technologies and performance. The findings provide insights for managers on how they can best respond to stakeholder and competitive pressures on sustainability and contribute towards sustainable development.

Board gender diversity and corporate environmental commitment: A subnational perspective

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Within the expanding literature on the interplay of corporate governance and corporate environmental behavior, this study introspects the contrastingly reported relationship between board gender diversity (BGD) and corporate environmental commitment (CEC). It empirically explores the moderating effect of coercive (regulation stringency), normative (ethical standards), and mimetic pressures (following of peers), derived from the provincial level isomorphic exhibition of neo‐institutional theory, in the A‐share Chinese listed firms. Apart from confirming the aggregate level positive association between the variables, the findings also highlight the moderating effect of subnational institutional pressures on the relationship. While ruling out the endogeneity and establishing the robustness, the findings imply that the interplay of subnational institutional isomorphism and corporate governance in the case of BGD‐CEC relationship are likely both pertinent and prevalent. Moreover, the increase in BGD enhances the CEC of a firm, subject to the fulfillment of a province's specific boundary conditions, predefined by the unique set of subnational institutional pressures.
