In this article, we explore the dynamics of environmental innovations developed by firms to comply with environmental regulations. Our analysis is based on a micro-simulation model of industrial dynamics. The question arises: how do firms competing in the same industry deal with environmental...

This paper provides a framework for the analysis of clean technology which covers the factors inducing, stimulating and constraining environmental innovations of firms. Such a framework relies on recent empirical and theoretical contributions to environmental innovations. The representation of...

[eng] A current theory about the autoindustry mutation claims that it will bring about the end of "Fordism". This paper attempts to assess wether the Ford M C's recent strategies preserve the essential feature of Fordism or alter the model's nature. From the exemple of a french subsdiary plant,...

BELIS-BERGOUIGNAN M.-C., BORDENAVE G. and LUNG Y. (2000) Global strategies in the automobile industry, Reg. Studies 34, 41-53. This paper views the multinational firm as a learning hierarchy , and presents a model capable of analysing the spatial organization of multinational firms. This model...

This paper presents an agent-based simulation model that models both economical and physical relations between firms, recyclers and consumers. This framework allows an investigation into the connection between physical environmental variables (waste flows, virgin material flows) and economic...

Many recent papers deal with exploring and explaining the determinants of eco-innovations for different countries supporting the formulation of efficient policy measures to trigger eco-innovation activities of firms. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of econometric cross-country analyses...

[eng] This article explores the impact of diversity of learning processes of firms upon the industrial dynamics. We present a simulation model which enables us to analyse the interactions among a population of heterogeneous firms characterised by specific learning and innovation processes. We...
