“…It is important to weigh the result in terms of the sample size of this research (40 cases), as in other studies (Inderberg et al , 2020; van de Brake et al , 2020), following Vittinghoff and McCulloch (2006). As a rule of thumb, it has been established that for each predictor variable, the minimum number of cases must total ten.…”

Purpose In light of the controversy between the theoretical importance of financing biotechnology firms’ research and development (R&D), and the firms’ contradictory and ambivalent empirical results, this paper aims to contribute to the debate by providing empirical evidence from Mexico’s case. Design/methodology/approach The authors use the probit model to determine if firms’ achievements in innovations are related to both private and public financing, and if so, to calculate their marginal effect on the firms’ innovation (n = 40 from 53 firms: 75.5% response). The survey was applied in 2015. Findings Although a large proportion of the firms innovate and dedicate resources to R&D activities, neither private financing (different from the R&D portion of sales) nor public financing has an impact on innovation activity. Research limitations/implications It is necessary to increase the number of studies that corroborate the type of link established between innovations in biotechnology firms and financing. Analyzing the financing/innovation links at various stages of the innovation process would also be relevant. Originality/value The research results support the perspective that the theoretical relationship between the financing and achievements of innovation is not conclusive and point to relevant considerations for the public policy agenda of the case study.

“…The main actors who overtly accept/support are likely to be developers, and their support is demonstrated by initiating SHP projects (i.e., support demonstrated at the utilization level following the definition of Busse and Siebert [57]). Other supporters could be municipalities [111] and citizens who have favorable attitudes toward renewable energy development.…”

“…Community resistance to renewables, primarily wind, solar, and hydropower were also prominent, particularly in developing countries (70.5% of cases) (Yenneti and Day 2015, Martínez and Castillo 2016, Yenneti et al 2016, Klain et al 2017, Rasch et al 2017, Avila 2018, Delina and Sovacool 2018, Aunphattanasilp 2019, Jayapalan and Ganesh 2019, Kluskens et al 2019, Sayan 2019, Schapper and Urban 2019, Inderberg et al 2020, Martinez 2020. One article highlighted opposition to geothermal power generation (Cuppen et al 2020) and three articles examined contexts in which there was opposition to renewable technologies due to deployment that resulted in energy affordability issues (Andreas et al 2018, Monyei et al 2018, Huang andLiu 2020).…”

“…The institutional structures that determine how political and decision-making power is distributed were also important determinants for outcomes. In Norway, Inderberg et al (2020) found that the position of municipal officials on wind power licensing and permits was statistically significant in influencing the project's approval. In the authoritarian contexts of Ethiopia and Russia, or where injustices and those affected are not recognized, Tysiachniouk et al (2018) and Schapper and Urban (2019) found that international norms and transnational alliances were important for stopping injustices caused by internationally financed energy projects.…”

Recent political, economic and policy change in the US, Australia, and Europe, in particular, have put transitions towards low-carbon energy futures at the forefront of local and national policy agendas. How these transitions are managed is likely to affect the feasibility, timing and scope of transition policy. Recognizing the existing maldistribution of the benefits and burdens of fossil fuel-based extraction, energy generation, and distribution, advocates and scholars increasingly call for policies that not only support decarbonization goals, but also those of equity. Proposals that do not contain such goals may be met with resistance. This review examines the politics of achieving more just outcomes by asking, what is our current understanding of justice advocacy and the impacts of such advocacy on the energy transition? In this study, we systematically review articles that include the key concepts of “just transition” or “energy justice” and that examine advocacy in energy transition contexts. We find advocates from diverse communities and affiliated with varied organizational types are involved in advocacy. Diverse issues motivate advocates and the most common advocate type in the literature are residents that are affected by local impacts of energy transition decisions. Extra-institutional tactics are the most common means of advocate action. We also find that advocacy is often motivated by issues related to decision-making processes and environmental degradation. These findings illuminate that: 1) energy systems and transitions are governed by processes and institutions that are often inaccessible, 2) advocates often attempt to affect change using tactics external to such processes and institutions, and 3) issues of environmental degradation are often prominent in advocacy discourse concerning the energy transition. Future research should seek to more clearly determine advocates’ primary motivations and the tactics and actions that ultimately aid or hinder more equitable outcomes.
