Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Transition economies and the impact of crises(2022-04-22); ; ; This paper consists of three contributions that focus on the innovation behavior of firms from transition countries in the context of crises and on political support in the context of geopolitical and economic tensions. The papers analyze how the 2008/2009 financial crisis affected firms' innovation activities, the determinants of firms' environmental innovation in the context of the ongoing climate crisis, and presidential support in the context of the Crimean annexation and the economic downturn in Russia. These empirical papers are embedded in an introduction that draws on evidence from these three different economic and political crises and provides an overview of the transition histories of the countries under consideration, followed by a comprehensive review of the theoretical framework.Dissertation309 311 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, A question of regulation or motivation? Environmental innovation activities in transition economies(2021-10-07)Environmental innovation (EI) plays an important role in decoupling economic growth and environmental harm. This paper focuses on the environmental innovation behavior of companies in transition countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, which have been little studied so far. These countries share the Soviet legacy of environmental mismanagement, and have restructured their innovation systems relatively recently in the course of transition. The EBRD-EIB-WB Enterprise Survey (2018-2020) allows us to examine the determinants of environmental innovation in 29 transition countries. Although the theory places a greater emphasis on external sources of knowledge in EI, the results indicate that collaborative R&D is still quite weak in these countries. Moreover, environmental regulation increases the likelihood of adopting energy efficiency measures, while customers demanding environmental standards increase the likelihood across all innovation activities, indicating an increasing sustainability awareness among consumers.BerichtBand:2107337 429 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Innovation and Economic Crisis in Transition Economies(2020-09-21); Based on Schumpeterian theoretical considerations, this paper investigates the innovation behavior of firms during the severe economic crisis of the year 2008/2009. It focuses on transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, which have completely restructured their innovation systems through the course of transformation from planned to market economies a relatively short time ago. As a result of the crisis, we observe a strong decline of innovation activity in all transition economies. In line with the literature, there is, however, empirical evidence for both creative destruction as well as creative accumulation. This underlines two key findings: firstly, the universality and durability of Schumpeterian assumptions, and secondly, a call for anti-cyclical innovation policy.Bericht655 412
