Del Rio P., Romero-Jordan D. & Penasco C. (2017) Analyzing firm-specific and type-specific determinants of eco-innovation. Technological and Economic Development of Economy 23(2): 270-295
Abstract. This paper analyses the main determinants influencing different types of eco-innovations and eco-innovators in Spain. We differentiate between two types of eco-innovations (process vs. product and new-to-the-market (NTM) vs. new-to-the-firm (NTF)) and two different types of ecoinnovators (large vs. small and old vs. new firms). Our findings show that new firms are not more eco-innovative and that smaller firms are certainly less eco-innovative.
