“…It works well with large number of covariates and, hence, allows to exploit the informational richness of our dataset. All these methods are frequently used in the economic and financial literature (Cheng et al, 2020;Cui & Xu, 2019;García-Vega et al, 2020;Giannetti, 2019;Özbuğday et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020;Havrylchyk and Jurzyk, 2011). There are also several practical manuals for the application of matching techniques, in particular PSM (Stuart, 2010;Caliendo and Kopeinig, 2008;Imbens, 2015).…”

This paper explores the short-term impact of borrowing via lending-based crowdfunding on performance and health of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in France. We find that firms borrowing from lending-based crowdfunding platforms are more dynamic (higher asset growth and higher profitability) and innovative, but they have lower leverage, less cash, higher funding costs and less tangible assets that could be pledged as a collateral. To account for this selection bias, we construct three control groups by using Propensity Score Matching, Mahalanobis Distance Matching and Coarsened Exact Matching methods and then run difference-indifference regressions. We find that borrowing via lending-based crowdfunding platforms increases SMEs' leverage and interest rate burden in the short-term, but these impacts disappear after two years. We observe asset growth during the year of borrowing, but no impact on sales growth, investment, employment or profitability.

“…The attitude of top managers in universities is very important. The so-called attitude influences how other people feel about the behavior and meaning of it [49][50][51][52][53]. Thus, top managers should strengthen their management and decision-making efficiency to improve the scientific decision-making standard.…”

“…Besides the educational background, attitude is the overall expression of personality and experience. University professors are required to be highly self-disciplined and independent when working [53,65]. They must also have a strong sense of responsibility and duty towards academic development.…”

Universities are the best places to gather knowledge and innovation, but the basis of technological development lies in talented R&D personnel who provide services to enterprise R&D activities, research institutions, and universities. Universities also gather many elites who cultivate talent for the country. However, universities do not have adequate technology transfer experience and do not network in industrial circles, which results in a huge gap between the concept and the practical result. This research determined the critical success factors and explored the causal relationships influencing the technology transfer from universities. We found that the main impact of the key factors was the technology market dimension. University technology transfer activities had to be classified as top priority. Technology industrial applicability was the main key evaluation factor, along with inventor attitude. In the organizational culture dimension, the attitude and ability of top management were the main evaluation factors. We attempted to draw upon our analysis results to make recommendations related to technology transfer to assist universities in successfully transferring their research results.

“…While the documented effect of the EU Taxonomy scientific literature on pollution cannot be interpreted as causal, being possible that carbon intensity and environmental research are affected by a common factor, our findings suggest a notable interrelation between scientific production and the improvement of environmental sustainability. The link between research and innovation is well-known [1][2][3], and, indeed, the scientific literature in EU Taxonomy-related areas evidently fosters innovation towards sustainability, allowing for a benefit to the natural capital of countries, by reducing CO 2 emissions and other forms of pollution [56]. The use of EU Taxonomy-filtered scientific production also proves the evidence-based policy making approach adopted by the European Commission; it is thanks, in no small part, to the role played by the TEG in particular, which was instrumental in narrowing the gap in the science-policy interaction.…”

Classification of Sustainable Activities: EU Taxonomy and Scientific Literature

In March 2020, the European Commission published the EU Taxonomy, a classification system of economic activities that can be considered environmentally sustainable. Motivated by this policy initiative, we propose a bibliometric analysis, based on the Web of Science database for the period January 1990–March 2020, regarding the extant scientific production related to the EU Taxonomy environmental objectives and macro-sectors. We find that a considerable number of scientific works—161,595 publications—have investigated Taxonomy-related areas, showing that the EU Taxonomy defined a working method, based on the cooperation among regulators, academics, and industry, representing a valuable example of evidence-based policy making. Furthermore, topic modelling analysis shows that extracted papers focused on improvements in production processes, innovation, and environmental performance. Thus, exploiting time and geographic patterns of the scientific publications, we perform a multivariate analysis to investigate its relationship with subsequent levels of pollution. Our evidence shows that, for the past, a higher level of EU Taxonomy-related publications is associated with a lower level of CO2 emissions, supporting the view that scientific production has a societal impact in terms of environmental sustainability. Accordingly, now that EU Taxonomy-related topics have been incorporated into policy measures, further positive environmental effects are expected from here on out.
