Diversos autores han reflexionado sobre los tipos de conocimientos que se transfieren e intercambian en los procesos de innovación y cómo esos diversos tipos dan lugar a estrategias diferenciadas por parte de las empresas, por más que se pueden encontrar similitudes entre las empresas de los...

This paper investigates the effects that knowledge sources external to the firm have on its environmental innovations (EIs). Using the CIS 2006-2008, we refer to both the probability to introduce an EI and the number of EI-typologies adopted by firms. We estimate the impact of the “depth”...

This paper provides an in-depth case study of the ink-jet printing (IJP) technology that emerged from a mature industrial sector in the Castellon region (Spain) in the first decade of 2000. We propose an analytical framework that combines the theoretical perspectives of Industrial Districts and...

Eco-innovation is an explicit aim of major EU policy strategies. Many environmental policy de facto require firms to eco-innovate to comply with policy requirements, while the overlap between policy-driven and market-driven eco-innovation strategies is increasingly important for many firms....

In this paper we empirically investigate the relationship between investments in environmentally-oriented equipment and firms’ export performance. Drawing on Porter hypothesis and firm heterogeneity theory, we adopt a structural model where first we estimate the impact of green investment...

The paper aims at evaluating the additionality of innovation policy in terms of innovative behaviours at the regional level. Innovation behaviours are distinguished, depending on their occurrence within and across the firms and the regional boundaries.The policy role with respect to them is...

In this article we analyse whether university-industry relations (UIR) work to inhibit university researchers' scientific productivity. We find that UIR exercise a positive effect on university scientific productivity when they are based on the development of activities with high scientific...

El establecimiento de forma generalizada de las relaciones entre la Universidad y la empresa ha abierto un campo de estudio de gran interés, centrado en los efectos que tales relaciones pudiesen tener sobre las misiones universitarias tradicionales, especialmente sobre la investigación. En...
