This study introduces a triple helix analytical framework for value co-creation in innovative ecosystems and constructs a three-party differential game model that incorporates innovators, service providers, and regulators. The model examines the conditions of strategic stability and sensitivity among different game players and makes the following conclusions: (1) Innovators' strategies are linearly influenced by the combined strategies of service providers and regulators, while the effect of innovators and regulators on service providers is non-linear. (2) During the initial stages of the innovation ecosystem, the regulator plays the roles of architect and controller. The <em>NES</em> strategy, aimed at reducing intervention, is triggered when the <em>LCI</em> and <em>GRS</em> strategies exceed certain thresholds. (3) Fiscal subsidies accelerate the convergence of the evolution curves of innovators' and service providers' strategies but also increase the cost burden for regulators, leading them toward passive management measures. (4) Upper-level accountability promotes the evolution of the three-party differential game system from “chaos” to “order,” with the intermediary effect becoming the main route influencing innovation strategy choices. Lastly, the findings suggest that policy measures, such as empowering low-carbon technology innovation with digital technologies, enhancing green service capabilities, and improving green technology assessment systems, may provide empirical evidence for decision-making by management departments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 123852"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Institutional stakeholders primarily see risks in civic participation, while citizens themselves see the benefits. Unexploited potential for creative input, deliberation, and collaborative planning could be leveraged to increase democratic legitimacy.

However, since there are several barriers to the adoption of eco-innovations, different instruments have been proposed to encourage their uptake, leading to instrument mixes. Analysis of these mixes has been scarce in the eco-innovation literature and mostly focused on static rather than dynamic combinations of instruments. This paper tries to cover this gap by assessing the <em>sequencing</em> of instruments to promote eco-innovation. To that aim we use a panel database of investments in green technologies by Spanish firms between 2010–2020. Our results show that the order in which the instruments are introduced (sequencing) affects the adoption of eco-innovation, although the effective sequencing effect slightly differs for different environmental technological innovation types (cleaner production vs. end-of-pipe). In both cases, using subsidies (“carrots”) first and then using environmental taxes (“sticks”) positively and significantly influence the adoption of environmental technologies. Results from heterogeneous analysis confirms that this is especially true for small and medium firms. Within carrots, it seems tax credits and subsidies are substitutes, whatever the sequence of their introduction is. These results have clear policy implications which cannot be derived from analyses of static policy mixes. They suggest that, if the aim is to promote the adoption of eco-innovations, carrots should be used first, and then sticks should be adopted. In addition, it warns against using tax credits and subsidies together, given their redundancy in promoting eco-innovation. If subsidies are introduced after tax credits have already been applied (or the other way around), substantial inefficiencies can be expected, increasing the costs of eco-innovation promotion without any added value in terms of effectiveness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 123835"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, by adaptively fusing NBeatsX and LassoNet models, we effectively handle the multifactor nature of electricity price prediction. The fusion mechanism enables L-NBeatsX to utilize a subset of features, thereby enhancing both accuracy and interpretability. Furthermore, the integration of skip connections from input to output in the fusion process enhances the robustness and flexibility of L-NBeatsX predictions. Additionally, we introduce unstable correction factors into the loss function to improve the model’s adaptability in probability prediction. By mitigating the impact of instability factors, we effectively reduce the cost of prediction instability while improving the accuracy and reliability of results.

Moreover, we investigate the mechanisms behind these impacts by analysing the moderating roles of psychological enablers (i.e. green self-efficacy) and barriers (i.e. environmental apathy). Drawing upon social learning theory, we develop a conceptual model that is empirically tested using 1200 online survey responses from Beijing, one of the most populous cities in China. We then employ a two-stage data analysis technique comprising confirmatory factor analysis and moderated multiple regression analysis to examine the proposed hypotheses.
