We analyze information and knowledge transfer in a sample of 16 German regional innovation networks with almost 300 …

mechanisms for medium inventions, and patent their most important innovations. This result reestablishes the traditional view …

. However, with finite patent lifetime, optimal innovation policy depends on the stage of the environmental problem. In the …This paper addresses the timing and interdependence between innovation and environmental policy in a model of research … and development (R&D). On a first-best path the environmental tax is set at the Pigouvian level, independent of innovation …

studied for a new type of innovation where new technologies reduce emissions of a specific pollutant but at the same time … cause a new type of damage. A robust finding is that the efficiency of permits is affected by monopoly pricing of the patent …-holding firm. This result carries over to other types of innovation. Taxes are inefficient if technologies produce perfect …

The paper examines the determinants that influence the environmental innovation behaviour of companies in Germany in a … multivariate context by using data from the Mannheimer Innovations Panel 1993, which was part of the Community Innovation Survey …. The objective is to analyse the general structures of the determinants of environmental innovation, as well as the …

This trend towards an open innovation … in external R&D allow fast adaptations within the innovation process in case of changing market trends or radical … innovations. Furthermore, opening up the innovation process simplifies an integration of required know-how from another industry …

Nanomaterials are seen as a key technology for the 21st Century, and much is expected of them in terms of innovation … products. In this context, it seems all the more important for regions to put their own innovation systems in place, and to … conditions and configurations allow a regional innovation system to be competitive in a cutting-edge technology like …
