“…Furthermore, it is widely accepted that EI has a negative impact on those non-absolute-level measurements of EP, whereas Weina et al [21] did not find any evidence of a significant role of green technology in CO 2 reduction. Given the importance of both CO 2 reduction and environmental innovation, it is worthwhile to further investigate the cause of the insignificant effect of EI.…”

“…As commented by Carson [17], the original IPAT studies viewed population and affluence as primary driving forces of pollutions, which were challenged intensively in terms of both model specification and data quality. Nevertheless, following studies extended the STIRPAT model by accounting for other factors such as industrialization [18], age structure [19], urbanization [20], and environmental innovation [21].…”

Given the log linearization of the model, the estimated coefficient represents the elasticity between the dependent variable and the independent variable, i.e., the size of the percentage change in the dependent variable with respect to one percentage change of the independent variable.…”

This paper aims to investigate the impact of low-carbon innovation on CO 2 emissions. Using patent statistics, we measured low-carbon innovations for 15 major economies during the period of 1992-2012. Then, we classified low-carbon technology into clean and gray technology according to the patent classification system. Following the empirical Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework, we explored the effects of low-carbon innovation and its components on CO 2 emissions. We did not find any evidence of significant influence of low-carbon innovation. Through further estimations, a significantly negative effect of clean innovation was found while the effect of gray innovation is not clear. Heterogeneous impacts within low-carbon technology provide an explanation for the insignificant impact of low-carbon innovation.

This paper reviews the literature on environmental innovation (EI) and systematizes it by means of an original methodology identifying the main directions in which the literature on EI has developed over time. In order to do so, two algorithms are adopted and used to analyze a citation network of journal articles and books. The main path analysis reveals that this literature revolves around the following topics: i) determinants of EI; ii) economic effects of EI; iii) environmental effects of EI; and iv) policy inducement in EI. Each of these topics is discussed and implications from the main findings as well as possible future research extensions are outlined.

Friends or foes? A systematic literature review and meta‐analysis of the relationship between eco‐innovation and firm performance

Eco‐innovation has gained currency as an effective means of addressing corporate environmental impacts. Yet the literature is inconclusive as to how different types of eco‐innovation influence different types of firm performance. This is problematic, as practitioners and policymakers will not embrace eco‐innovation unless there is clear evidence that through its implementation companies can achieve returns, not only on their environmental performance but also on their economic, social and operational performance. This paper aims to improve our understanding of this relationship by conducting a meta‐analysis and drawing on a much broader sample than previous meta‐analytic efforts in this field. The paper analyses 569 effects based on 160 studies and more than 124,000 firms ( N=124,077). Our results provide solid evidence of the positive impact eco‐innovation has on all types of firm performance but also highlight types of eco‐innovation that do not contribute to this relationship and the role moderators play in explaining discrepancies found in the literature.
