“…Such an investment by MNCs brings advanced technologies, knowledge, and best practices. This transfer of technology can significantly boost the innovation capabilities of the host country (Li et al, 2022). In another channel, FDI can provide local companies with access to global markets through the network of the investing MNC.…”

“…FDI has a positive and negative impact on RIP because an influx of FDI may introduce a green and modern technology that urges institutions and firms to invest more in R&D and not hesitate while obtaining PTA. Moreover, it further highlights that the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis assists newly established firms or businesses to pollute the environment, but after a certain level, they curb their emissions and work for the betterment of the community (Li et al, 2022). Similarly, government subsidy, FSD, and GDP have a positive and significant impact on RIP (Wen et al, 2023; Xu et al, 2021).…”

This study aims to explore the empirical relationship between climate policy uncertainty (CPU) and regional innovation performance. The empirical analysis was conducted on 36 years of available data over the period 1987 to 2022 in the United States (US). By using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for regression analysis, we examine the impact of CPU on two crucial indicators of innovation, namely, research and development (R&D) expenditures and patent applications (PTA). The empirical analysis reveals a significant negative effect of CPU on both R&D expenditures and PTA, suggesting that higher levels of climate uncertainty may hinder innovation activities in the regional context. A high CPU introduces hesitancy and risk aversion, impacting the allocation of resources, confidence in markets, and the willingness of businesses to pursue innovative endeavors. The negative effect remains consistent even after the inclusion of several control variables and robustness checks. The findings underscore the significance of a stable and supportive policy environment and economic conditions in promoting innovation. Overall, this research provides valuable empirical evidence on the interplay between CPU and innovation outcomes, offering insights for policymakers, businesses, and researchers seeking to navigate the complexities of climate‐related challenges and their impact on innovation. We did not find any study exploring the comparable impact of CPU on innovation.

“…We controlled the railway miles per capita to approximate the level of transportation infrastructure of a state as OFDIs are attracted to regions with a good transportation [112]. Lastly, we controlled for the logarithm of patents of each state to approximate its innovative level, as innovative foreign companies are more likely to be attracted to innovative locations [113,114]. At the industry level, we coded the industry of companies ("1" = manufacturing industries, and "0" = otherwise).…”

Outward foreign direct investments from innovative Chinese firms pose challenges to American stakeholders regarding how to balance economic gains and nationalistic sentiment. Relying on the stakeholder management framework, we analyze the dual nature of American economic stakeholders’ sentiments towards innovative Chinese firms. Both positive and negative sentiments increase as Chinese companies’ innovative capability improves. While stakeholders in conservative-leaning states may temper their positive sentiment, their negative sentiment is mainly directed at Chinese state-owned companies. Our findings help to gain particular insight into the complex nature of stakeholder sentiment, a key element shaping multinational companies’ operating environment.

Improving the Innovative Performance of Renewable Energy Enterprises in China: Effects of Subsidy Policy and Intellectual Property Legislation

Energy efficiency and emissions reductions are effective initiatives to address climate change and energy security. China has increased government subsidies and intellectual property protection (IPP) intensity to promote technological innovation in the renewable energy sector. This paper selects samples of geothermal, wind, and solar energy companies and examines whether the two initiatives mentioned above can improve company innovation, and assesses their action pathways. The results reveal that: (i) government subsidies can directly facilitate renewable energy enterprises’ innovative performance, and research and development (R&D) input served as a medium; and (ii) the intensity of IPP moderation needed for geothermal and solar enterprises to utilize the government subsidy to enhance innovation. The government should consider the differences of different sub-sectors of renewable energy when increasing subsidies. Better laws and policies are needed to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and stimulate innovation in renewable energy enterprises.
