Based on a survey among German climate technology companies, we analyse how characteristics of the technology and organization-specific resources influence the channel chosen for transferring climate technologies to other countries. We employ a multi-step method that combines factor analysis and...

Considering literature studied, we concluded that, even though both tacit knowledge sharing process and organizational citizenship behaviors have positive implication on personal and professional development and also organizational performance, they are not addressed together too often. The...

We infer sectoral productivity from trade and production data and test the hypothesis that technological catch-up is slower in tacit knowledge intensive sectors, operationalised by measures of complex task intensity. Furthermore, we examine whether catch-up is slower in sectors with a large...
