Measuring these disparate effects is important for effective eco-policy design, but these channels have been difficult to disentangle. We leverage a new methodology to model the joint production of output and multiple pollutants at the plant level. Exploiting variation from the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment, our novel and versatile Generalized By-production approach allows us to conduct the first evaluation of the policy that explicitly models efficiencies of output (electricity), as well as efficiencies of NO<sub>x</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub> reductions for coal-fired power plants. Our analysis highlights not only the production-pollution trade-off plants face, but also complementary effects of pollution abatement <em>across</em> pollutants. We show that the 1990 announcement of the policy induced anticipatory responses despite the regulation not requiring strict compliance until 1995. Plants forced to comply with the policy’s Phase I SO<sub>2</sub> reductions (i.e. assigned nonattainment designation), on average, suffered greater efficiency losses in productivity and showed larger improvements in both pollutant reductions, relative to lightly regulated (attainment) plants. Regulation-induced impacts vary by plant vintage, state environmental quality, and eco-friendly behaviors. Crucially, improvements in pollutant reductions outweigh the countervailing contractions in electricity generation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105145"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a large evidence base related to 18 publicly-funded digital innovation intermediaries in France, including primary and secondary sources, we uncover the various forms of institutional work intermediaries engage in while facilitating the digital transition. We find that intermediaries' institutional work focuses on disrupting symbolic systems, creating relational systems and artefacts, and creating and maintaining routines. Intermediaries carry out different kinds of institutional work at different levels of intermediation. Furthermore, different types of intermediaries focus on distinct levels of intermediation and different institutions.

However, critics argue that social innovation may just be a ‘fashionable concept’ or ‘buzzword’ in public policy discourse and that more empirical research is needed to help improve our understanding of the actors and mechanisms that drive effective social innovations. In response this article draws upon a case study of the development of Shared Lives as an alternative national model of adult social care in England over the past 40 years. Drawing on interviews with 50 individuals carried-out between late-2021 and early-2023, including those involved in four different local schemes, we highlight the positive role played by the organisation Shared Lives Plus, which we conceptualise as an ‘internal governance unit’ (IGU), in terms of establishing and maintaining a ‘community innovation infrastructure’. However, the example of Shared Lives also illustrates the difficult challenges IGUs can face in trying to move social innovations beyond an institutional ‘niche’.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105152"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Case study research has been the methodological catalyst for the genesis and establishment of the ISs approach, as one of the most widely used theoretical and policy-relevant perspectives on innovation in the social sciences. However, many ISs scholars believe that this type of research is not scientific enough. To deepen our understanding of the case study paradox, this paper utilises the dialectical method (also known as dialectics); in particular, the analytical triad of thesis (affirmation), antithesis (negation), and synthesis (transformation). It is shown that a dialectical resolution to the case study paradox involves a three-phase process. First, the analysis introduces the <strong><em>deductive thesis</em></strong>, which, based on the hypothetico-deductive model of science, posits that case study research on ISs cannot investigate causality and generality. The second step formulates the <strong><em>retroductive antithesis</em></strong>, which, based on the retroductive model of science, holds that case study research inherently possesses the ability to infer causality and generality. The third and final phase transforms the contradiction between the deductive thesis and the retroductive antithesis into a new methodological perspective, the <strong><em>detroductive synthesis</em></strong>, wherein – depending on the model of scientific explanation – case study research is both incapable (deductive thesis) and capable (retroductive antithesis) of inferring causality and generality. Overall, the analysis enables IS scholars to conduct case study research in a paradox-free, stand-alone, causal-explanatory, and generalisable way. The paper ends by discussing thought-provoking implications for research practice, the peer-review process, and the evaluation of innovation policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105136"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our empirical analysis focuses on the time and location of the 653 discoveries underlying each of the 350 Nobel Prizes in medicine, physics, and chemistry until 2024. About one-third of all Nobel laureates came from another institution or country. Furthermore, Nobel Prize creativity is highly concentrated, with more than 80 % of discoveries made in just five countries.
