Environmentally-Oriented Innovative Strategies and Firm Performances in Services. Micro-Evidence from Italy

Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Cainelli, Giulio; Zoboli, Roberto - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

This paper aims at analysing the role of the environment in innovative strategies based on firm economic performance …-related effects (the core of performance indicators) are not significant. Mainstream hypotheses related to eventual negative impacts … performance do not seem to be present. …

SME Performance, Innovation and Networking Evidence on Complementarities for a Local Economic System

Mazzanti, Massimiliano; Mancinelli, Susanna - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2007

The paper addresses the relevancy of networking activities and R&D as main drivers of productivity performance and … performance. The complementarity with networking is a consequential step. Networking by itself cannot thus play a role in … networking are to be sustained and favoured. our evidence suggests that R&D may be a single main driver of performance. Since R …

Environmental Regulations, Market Structure and Technological Progress in Renewable Energy Technology — A Panel Data Study on Wind Turbines

Rübbelke, Dirk; Weiss, Pia - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

We study the impact of environmental regulations on the patent activities for wind turbines between 1980 and 2008. We explicitly control for energy market liberalisation and take a potential interaction between liberalisation and policy instruments into account. We find a strong and highly...

Clean and Dirty International Technology Diffusion

Bosetti, Valentina; Verdolini, Elena - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

This paper investigates the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and Environmental Policies (EPs) on clean (renewable) and dirty (fossil-based) technology diffusion from top-innovators. IPR protection and EPs are extensively debated policy tools, as IPR protection addresses...

Improving the Energy-Efficiency of Buildings: The Impact of Environmental Policy on Technological Innovation

Noailly, Joëlle - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

This paper investigates the impact of alternative environmental policy instruments on technological innovations aiming to improve energy-efficiency in buildings. The empirical analysis focuses on three main types of policy instruments, namely regulatory energy standards in buildings codes,...

At Home and Abroad: An Empirical Analysis of Innovation and Diffusion in Energy-Efficient Technologies

Verdolini, Elena; Galeotti, Marzio - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

This paper contributes to the induced innovation literature by extending the analysis of supply and demand determinants of innovation in energy-efficient technologies to account for international knowledge flows and spillovers. In the first part of the paper we select a sample of 38 innovating...

Innovation and Institutional Ownership

Aghion, Philippe; Reenen, John Van; Zingales, Luigi - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

We find that institutional ownership in publicly traded companies is associated with more innovation (measured by cite-weighted patents). To explore the mechanism through which this link arises, we build a model that nests the lazy-manager hypothesis with career-concerns, where institutional...

Leadership Cycles

Denicolò, Vincenzo; Zanchettin, Piercarlo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010

We study a quality-ladder model of endogenous growth that produces stochastic leadership cycles. Over a cycle, industry leaders can innovate several successive times in the same industry, gradually increasing the magnitude of their technological lead before being replaced by a new entrant....
