“…However, we are unable to include this variable due to a lack of pertinent information. Further, historical factors, although not considered in the present work due to a lack of appropriate data, could play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of technological change (see Taalbi, ; also Freeman, ; Goel & Saunoris, ). Nevertheless, this research has made headway into providing insights into an innovation type where relatively less is known.…”

This paper examines determinants of process innovation introductions across 115 (mostly) developing countries. Empirical research on process innovations lags behind product innovations. Accounting for firm characteristics, R&D, regulations and taxes, and corruption, results show that sole proprietors and R&D‐performing firms were more likely to introduce innovations, whereas greater prosperity made them less likely to do so. Corruption had a greasing effect, whereas firms in island nations were less likely to introduce, ceteris paribus. Effects of regulations and taxes and other firm characteristics were largely insignificant. Finally, some differences existed across manufacturing and service industries and across prevalence of innovation introductions.

“…Many studies on innovation and performance have been carried out due to their relevance for both private and public organizations (Archibugi & Filippetti, 2018;Laursen & Foss, 2003;Laursen & Salter, 2006;Powell & Snellman, 2004;Stek & van Geenhuizen, 2016). The empirical evidence has shown that innovative companies tend to achieve higher performance in the same way that countries that invest public resources to develop innovation also improve conditions for economic development (Powell & Snellman, 2004;Taalbi, 2017).…”

This article conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) on the relationship between innovation and performance in private companies. The research corpus was based on research protocol systematization. Dissemination of knowledge was examined in two stages: the summary of general corpus characteristics, and the content analysis performed according to the categories that emerged via the study's themes. Relationships among authors, co-citations, keywords, and centrality statistics were identified through algorithms for optimizing standard graph layout. This study discusses the results of this relationship for improving the competitiveness of enterprises. The relationships among the authors of the corpus constitute relationships between isolated groups with little connectivity, low density, and a formation of distinct communities. The categories of analysis emerged in the study themes, as well as the techniques adopted to measure the relationships between innovation and private company performance. In the analyzed studies, innovation initiatives converge. Overall, they contribute to improvements in company performance. In the scientific field, initiatives for developing innovations have enhanced the performance of private companies. A key theoretical contribution of this article is in identifying the research corpus on the relationship between innovation and performance in private companies. The practical contribution of this study lies in offering evidence produced by studies that can help decision making regarding the creation of strategies and policies focused on competitiveness. The differences in the evidence found in the literature highlight the importance of the outcome of this study and indicate the need for future research in an effort to better understand the phenomenon.

“…Article 16 of the Clean Air Conservation Act requires metropolitan cities to set permissible emission levels [39]. This regulation can play a key role in stimulating the development of clean technology and clean fuels [40]. Also, the government published the implementation plan for renewable energy, Renewable Energy 2030, in 2017, which includes a target to make up 20% of total renewable energy supply by 2030.…”

Air pollution is one of the most significant environmental hazards. The elderly, young, and poor are more vulnerable to air pollution. The risk of air pollution was assessed based on the risk framework published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in terms of three aspects: hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. This study determined the concentrations of hazardous pollutants using satellite images from 2015 at 1 km 2 spatial resolution. In addition, the study identified vulnerable groups who are exposed to hazardous air pollutants. The study highlighted the degree of vulnerability based on environmental sensitivity and institutional abilities, such as mitigation and social adaption policies, using statistical data. Based on the results, Seoul City and Gyeonggi Province have low air pollution risk owing to good institutional abilities, while the western coastal area has the highest air pollution risk. Three adaption pathway scenarios were assessed in terms of the effect of increases in the budget for social adaptation policies on the level of risk. The study found that the risk can be reduced when the social adaptation budget of 2015 base level is increased by 20% in Gyeonggi Province and by 30% in the western coastal area. In conclusion, this risk assessment can support policy-making to target more vulnerable groups based on scientific evidence and to ensure environmental justice at the national level.
