"Spatial externalities and relational externalities in the geography of eco-innovation"
This work aims to highlight the respective roles of spatial externalities and relational externalities in firms' eco-innovation performance.
We empirically test this question using a hurdle model on company data from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS 2014). The aim is to highlight the territorial determinants of environmental innovations along three dimensions: the nature of externalities within the firm's territory (specialization, related variety, unrelated variety), the firm's location (rural, urban or peri-urban) and the location of the eco-innovation cooperation partner (inside or outside the territory). The results of our research reveal a highly differentiated mobilization of intra- and extra-territorial resources and knowledge for eco-innovation, depending on the type of company location.
