This paper investigates the correlation between sectoral environmental performance and firm growth, using a large data set of 61,219 Italian manufacturing firms and sector environmental–economic accounts. Specifically, the paper investigates the extent to which the correlation between (past)...

Nel presente lavoro, utilizzando il modello economico-ambientale IPAT e la nuova banca dati settoriale WIOD, uno degli strumenti più completi di accounting ambientale a livello europeo, si testa la relazione tra intensità di emissioni inquinanti (anidride carbonica diviso valore aggiunto) e...

This paper examines the different forces underlying the adoption of environmental innovations (EI), with a focus on policy related EI. In particular, exploiting the 2006–2008 wave of the Italian Community Innovation Survey (CIS), we investigate whether the first phase of the European Emissions...

The adoption and diffusion of environmental innovations (EIs) is crucial to greening the economy and achieving win-win environmental – economic gains. A large and increasing literature has focused on the levers underlying EIs that are external to the firm, such as stakeholders’ pressure and...

L’obiettivo del lavoro è sfruttare la teoria delle Environmental Kuznets Curves per testare la dinamica relativa all'intensità di emissioni di anidride carbonica (intesa come rapporto tra emissioni e valore aggiunto) ed alla produttività del lavoro (calcolata come valore aggiunto su ore...

Eco-innovation plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions. Exploiting the consolidated IPAT / STIRPAT framework, this paper studies whether a relationship exists between green technological change and both CO2 emissions and emission efficiency (CO2/VA), exploiting a rich panel covering 95...
