Abstract

This study aims to characterize the eco-innovation activities implemented by the Argentine industrial firms, considering their association with different strategies of transition towards a circular economy. An analysis is made of the main motivations and factors that influence the implementation of the different types of EI, including variables such as economic sector, size, age, origin of capitals, productive linkages and innovative profile of firms. A logit regression model is proposed based on data from the National Survey of Employment and Innovation (ENDEI), which collects information from more than 3900 Argentine industrial companies for the period 2014-2016. The results reflect the heterogeneity of both the innovative behavior of the firms and the productive structure of the country. A majority of firms with EI strategies related to resource efficiency and pollution mitigation coexist with a smaller group of companies with a proactive innovative profile and genuinely circular strategies, aimed at reusing waste and designing products with less environmental impact.JEL Codes: Q550, Q570, Q520

阿根廷工业企业生态创新(2014 - 2016):循环经济转型战略视角下的表征

本研究旨在描述阿根廷工业企业实施的生态创新活动的特征，考虑到它们与向循环经济过渡的不同战略的联系。本文分析了影响实施不同类型经济效益的主要动机和因素，包括经济部门、规模、年龄、资本来源、生产联系和企业创新概况等变量。根据国家就业与创新调查(ENDEI)的数据，提出了一个logit回归模型，该调查收集了2014-2016年期间3900多家阿根廷工业公司的信息。研究结果反映了企业创新行为和国家生产结构的异质性。大多数具有与资源效率和减少污染有关的环保战略的公司与少数具有积极创新形象和真正的循环战略的公司共存，这些战略旨在重新利用废物和设计对环境影响较小的产品。JEL代码:Q550, Q570, Q520
