“…Other authors analysed particular cases of countries, such as Japan (Johnson, 1982;Freeman, 1987), South Korea (Amsden, 1989;Chang, 1993), and Taiwan (Wade, 1990). Later, several authors summarized the similarities between successful cases and the differences of unsuccessful ones (Chang, 2002;Reinert, 2007;Kohli, 2012;Zagato, 2019). Some of the key lessons were that the successful countries used a smart combination of industrial and social policies, along with inwards and outwards oriented development strategies.…”

Development studies on the middle-income trap have highlighted the challenges for developing economies to transform their productive systems from simple towards high valueadded activities. Here, we use trade data of 116 countries to quantify the stages of productive sophistication and reveal the critical phase that countries encounter at intermediate levels of economic sophistication. Our results reveal that only five countries (i.e. Ireland, Israel, Hungary, Singapore, and South Korea) overcame the gravitation towards simple products and fully transformed their economies towards complex products between 1970 and 2010. They successfully made use of windows of opportunities in the digital and electronics sectors through smart industrial policies that promoted endogenous skills and access to international knowledge sources. In contrast, countries like Brazil or South Africa still struggle with the gravitation towards simple economic activities, social fragmentation, and a lack of coherent industrial policies.

“…Semi-peripheral countries such as Brazil can overcome the technological gap by relying on emulation from mission-oriented innovation policies [66] that, for example, can promote an assignment, such as diminishing carbon emissions in a specific period, or a transformative innovation policy [67] that highlights an integrated and systemic approach, considering the negative social and environmental effects of innovation in its framework. Both cases highlight the promotion of investments in innovation (especially in EIs) with the leading role in this process [68].…”

This study aimed to provide an overview of eco-innovations in the Brazilian industry. To address this issue, we analyzed specific data of eco-innovative companies. In addition, we applied the cluster heatmap technique, which allowed us to analyze the different drivers and impacts of eco-innovations in different sectors. According to the results, companies that stated that innovation made it possible to reduce their environmental impact represent a third of all innovators. Moreover, they are companies that have shown greater effort to innovate and greater susceptibility to the benefits and obstacles of innovation. Furthermore, the eco-innovation strategy is mainly driven by market factors, such as reputation and codes of good practice. The impacts are mainly associated with the use of more widespread and less complex technologies, such as recycling. In addition to these results, the study considers some alternatives to guide the innovation policy, especially related to eco-innovations in semi-peripherical countries.

“…No cenário atual, em que pese a posição periférica ou semiperiférica da maioria dos países, essa situação não é estanque, tampouco os desafios são insuperáveis. Uma das possibilidades para alcançar um estágio mais avançado, semelhante ao das economias centrais, passa por apostar na emulação, dar à política industrial um sentido de missão (Mazzucato, 2017), investir em inovação (em especial, nas EIs) e garantir ao governo um papel protagonista nesse processo (Zagato, 2019).…”

Este estudo objetivou traçar um panorama das ecoinovações na indústria brasileira. Para tratar dessa questão foram utilizados os dados da última Pintec (triênio 2015Pintec (triênio -2017. As empresas que realizaram inovações que permitiram reduzir o impacto ambiental correspondem a um terço do universo das inovadoras. Além disso, são empresas que demonstraram um maior esforço para inovar (principalmente nas atividades internas de P&D) e uma maior suscetibilidade quanto aos benefícios e aos obstáculos da inovação. Ademais, a estratégia de ecoinovar é sobretudo motivada por fatores de mercado, como a reputação e os códigos de boas práticas. Já os impactos estão acima de tudo associados ao uso de tecnologias mais disseminadas e menos complexas, como é o caso da reciclagem. Para além desses resultados, o estudo pondera algumas alternativas para orientar as políticas de inovação, em especial aquelas direcionadas às ecoinovações.
