Por estos motivos, todas las definiciones de eco-innovación concuerdan con el valor creciente del medio ambiente y reflejan dos efectos de las eco-innovaciones: disminución significativa de externalidades negativas y mejor aprovechamiento de los factores productivos obtenidos del medio ambiente (Hojnik & Ruzzier, 2016).…”
