“…Understanding sustainable technology transfer has shifted the focus onto pollution control and resource conservation (Hansen, Li, & Svarverud, 2018) towards integrated sustainable solutions that consider the environment, the economy, and society together (UNCTAD, 2018). This has led countries to invest in infrastructure supporting sustainable technology development and its transfer, such as the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (Austria), Green Investment Bank (United Kingdom), National Bank for Economic and Social Development (Brazil), and Green Technology Bank (China) (Geddes, Schmidt, & Steffen, 2018;Guo et al, 2020;Mazzucato & Penna, 2016), in addition to the 12 green investment banks announced by the OECD (2017aOECD ( , 2017b. However, the development and adoption of sustainable technology transfer still face political (Yoshino, Taghizadeh-Hesary, & Nakahigashi, 2019), market (Agyemang, Zhu, Adzanyo, Antarciuc, & Zhao, 2018), knowledge and awareness (Liao & Shi, 2018), and financial barriers (Bhandari, Singh, & Garg, 2019).…”

Green growth versus economic growth: Do sustainable technology transfer and innovations lead to an imperfect choice?

A concern with the mitigation of climate change cuts a transversal line across economic agents, epitomized by two contradictory viewpoints. Some defend that green growth can be achieved without harming economic growth; others argue that it is not possible to respect sustainability if intensive consumption of goods continues to foster economic growth. Our research aims to analyze the role that sustainable technology transfer and sustainable innovations play in green growth and ascertain the impact of green growth on economic growth. We use aggregated country-level data provided by the OECD, including national accounts, population, and environment statistics (including patents) between 1990 and 2013 for 32 countries, corresponding to an unbalanced panel of 591 observations. We estimate econometric models based on dynamic panel methodologies to capture differences that exist over time. The results show that sustainable technology transfer and sustainable innovation promote green growth, which in turn positively impacts economic growth. We contribute new insight to the green growth versus economic growth debate and provide several political and management implications.

“…However, considering the brain drain concept in a panoramic and non-specific way. Such panoramic perspective understands brain drain as a social phenomenon mainly related to sustainable technological development, a sustainability type that has recently been studied within the SDGs framework [121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130].…”

Scholars had been documenting the Brain Drain phenomenon producing scientific literature for more than 50 years. After three decades of slow but steady progress, literature about this concept has accelerated its progress and growth path, in line with the 9th sustainable development goal “Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation” Thus, the present article aims to define the current theoretical trends about the analysis of advanced intellectual human capital’s international migratory phenomenon. This study uses a scientometric methodology on a corpus of 1212 articles indexed to the JCR-WoS from Social Sciences. The period covered in the study is from 1965 to 2020. The paper looks to understand how researchers studied the brain drain concept over the last 55 years in various disciplines. The report covers 99 categories from the Journal Citation Report (JCR) index. Results show that there is a scientific research critical mass that is studying the brain drain phenomenon. The analysis shows thematic trends at the sources, discourses, and consolidates classic works and some novel authors. Those new scholars and theoretical trends lead to refocused analysis beyond countries with a high development level. Such movement constitutes a new challenge in this line of research toward studying the effects of the brain drain in the peripheral areas of knowledge production.

“…Pan et al (2019) raise two questions: what influence has green economic system of a country and how to identify the factors influencing green economy? Different regions vary in their level of socio-economic development and environmental challenges (Guo et al, 2020), thus, countries with the same level of green economy can make different policy choice (Pan et al, 2019) in order to ensure green economic growth. Moreover, there is no obvious evidence about the interactions and dynamics relationships among those factors (Pan et al, 2019).…”

“…Green growth can be seen as a new source of capital accumulation and job creation (Gibbs, O'Neill, 2017). Factors influencing green growth are analyzed in the works of Guo et al (2020), Capasso et al (2019), Du et al (2019), Adeel-Farooq et al (2018) and others. Capasso et al (2019) indicate economic and social barriers to green growth.…”

Investigating green growth is a continuing scientific concern within academia, governments, and international organizations in recent years. This paper analyzes the discourse on green growth assessment methods. There are three primary aims of this study: 1. To identify factors influencing or stimulating green growth. 2. To analyze sets, frameworks, and indices of green growth indicators designed by international organizations and scientists. 3. To develop the Green Growth evaluation Index and to validate it on the assessment of green growth status of the European Union countries. The methodological approach taken in this study is a mixed methodology based on data analysis, generalization, and index assessment. The study offers important insights into the discourse on green growth evaluation, analyzes green growth measurement tools, and provides the Green Growth Index which can be applied to evaluate green growth in developing and developed countries. Secondary data have been collected from Eurostat, the World Bank databases, and UNDP Human Development Reports for the year 2018. The results show that green growth is uneven in the European countries; the Green Growth Index and all three pillars vary between countries due to the fact that several countries lag behind all the indicators included in the Green Growth Index.
