Abstract

We analyze whether eco-innovation has a positive or negative influence on the business performance of companies and, through the complementarity approach, whether the joint implementation of R&D subsidy and R&D cooperation increases or decreases the sum of their respective individual impacts on the business performance. If the joint implementation is substitutive, business performance will be lower than potentially possible, so granting R&D subsidies under the condition of establishing R&D cooperation would not be an adequate policy to promote eco-innovation. The analyses were performed using data from the Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC) of 2013 for Spanish manufacturing companies. Our findings indicate that an eco-innovation-oriented strategy positively affects the labor productivity of companies and that receiving public aid as a consequence of establishing R&D cooperation agreements has a lower effect on labor productivity (non-eco-innovative companies), or the same effect (eco-innovative companies), compared to the sum of the individual impacts of R&D cooperation and R&D subsidy. Consequently, in non-eco-innovative companies the use of subsidized R&D cooperation is inadvisable, while their use in eco-innovative companies is neutral.

生态创新企业研发补贴与研发合作的关系。采用互补方法的分析

我们分析了生态创新对企业经营绩效的影响是积极的还是消极的，并通过互补的方法分析了研发补贴和研发合作的联合实施对企业经营绩效的影响是增加还是减少了各自个体影响的总和。如果联合实施是替代的，企业绩效将低于潜在的可能，因此在建立研发合作的情况下给予研发补贴并不是促进生态创新的适当政策。分析使用了2013年西班牙制造公司的技术创新小组(PITEC)的数据。我们的研究结果表明，与研发合作和研发补贴的个体影响之和相比，生态创新战略对企业的劳动生产率产生了积极的影响，而建立研发合作协议后接受公共援助对劳动生产率的影响(非生态创新企业)较低，对生态创新企业的影响相同。因此，在非生态创新公司中，补贴研发合作是不可取的，而在生态创新公司中，补贴研发合作是中性的。
