Information from intellectual property rights, particularly patent and trademark data, offer an objective, transparent, fast and cost-effective way to identify green innovations, especially when compared to traditional survey-based methods. However, the validity of this identification method is not yet fully established. Not all innovations can be protected through intellectual property rights and some firms may deliberately choose not to pursue formal protection. This study uses patent, trademark and survey data from two distinct samples of SMEs and mid-cap firms from Germany and Italy to investigate whether green patents and green trademarks can effectively identify green innovative firms. The findings reveal that relying solely on patent- and trademark-based measures of green innovation leads to the exclusion of many green innovative firms. In the larger and more representative Italian sample, we observe that only about 1 % of firms have filed a green patent, and 1.65 % have registered a green trademark in the five years prior to the survey. While green trademarks remain a valuable indicator of various types of green innovation, green patents do not prove to be a strong measure of green innovation—at least in a broad industry sample. The predictive power of green trademarks is strongest for identifying green product innovation, particularly within samples of small yet established firms. In contrast, the predictive value of green patents diminishes when considering a firm's total patent portfolio. The findings of our study are relevant for policymakers and investors seeking to identify green innovative firms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105138"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553716","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}

Other studies have suggested that the extensive use of emotions can have a detrimental effect on their perception as a trustworthy information source. Bringing these two streams of literature together, we theorize that the level of emotional brightness—that is, the tone of a project's content on the continuum from negative to positive emotions—generates both perceptions of empathy and inauthenticity. The interplay between these perceptions produces an inverted U-shaped relationship between the level of emotional brightness of a crowdfunding project and the project's performance. Drawing on a dataset of 2500 Kickstarter projects, we find support for this hypothesis. We also find that the goal amount moderates this relationship because funders pay more attention to projects with higher goal amounts due to their salience; the higher the goal amount is, the steeper the inverted U-shape is. Finally, considering both written text (the description of the project) and images (the photo on the project's landing page), we find that the moderating effect of the project's goal amount is stronger for emotions conveyed through images than those conveyed through text. Our paper contributes to deepening the understanding of the relationship between emotions and crowdfunding performance by revealing the benefits and limitations of using emotions in crowdfunding projects. Attempts to manipulate an audience's perception by arousing its emotions are a double-edged sword that entrepreneurs should use cautiously.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105094"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142560605","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}

These disclosure elements are crucial because they can potentially undermine the regulatory goals of enhancing transparency and public welfare. Our findings indicate that, under intense competition, firms disclose their R&D results more promptly.

Organizations rely on experts to evaluate ideas but not every expert is also a decision-maker. Therefore, understanding whether and when experts are best positioned to evaluate novel ideas is important. We conducted two studies to address this issue. In Study 1, we experimentally examined how different individuals recognize novel ideas and whether or not they select them. We find that while expertise fosters the recognition and selection of novel ideas, being in a decision-maker role hinders it. Moreover, the effects of expertise on idea selection decrease for those in a decision-maker role. To extend the generalizability of our findings, we conducted Study 2—a field study employing data collected from an international firm's ideation platform over the course of 11 months. We find support for the contrasting effects of expertise and decision-maker role on the selection of novel ideas. Our findings suggest how idea evaluation processes in, for instance, open innovation or crowdsourcing contexts can be organized more effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105139"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142528044","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}

This paper elaborates a local spatial perspective on TISs and elucidates how the local scale interacts with broader scales through structural couplings. We use technological materialization to define the local scale and illustrate our perspective with a case study on a local biorefining TIS evolution in France. Using event-history analysis, we explore how the local scale evolved through functional interactions both within and across the local and broader scales. The results reveal shifting configurations of TIS functions and their interactions at various scales in different periods: while the local scale was characterized by materialization of biorefining technology and local market formation, broader scales played more versatile roles by providing resources to, forming end markets for, and establishing the legitimacy of the local scale. Policy should promote biorefinery-internal markets through technological materialization and disseminate local success stories at broader scales.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105130"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420133","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 an analysis of policy documents by supra-national, national, and sub-national agencies and elite interviews, the research examines the beginnings of a new policy we term “Consumption Targeted Innovation for Women” (CTIW) in a limited number of advanced economies: The EU, and the specific cases of Austria and Israel. Elaborating on the necessity of this policy, the dynamics of its spread and its challenges moving forward, the research contributes conceptually to the budding literature on inclusive innovation policy, and practically to the analysis of emerging policies that are likely to further gender equality in innovation. We argue that CTIW is a response to market failure in the form of innovation designs that systematically cater to male needs and preferences while mostly ignoring those of women. The spread of CTIW policies is driven by policy entrepreneurs from the academic world. Policy adoption depends on the degree to which government in general is committed to gender equality and more specifically gender mainstreaming policy. However, even where the environment is ideologically favorable, CTIW must contend with the fact that most policy attention is focused on measures dedicated to furthering gender-equality on the production side.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 1","pages":"Article 105132"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420087","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}
