摘要

低排放汽车(LEVs)的发展代表了两种绿色发展轨迹之间技术竞争的典型案例。一方面，增量轨迹旨在提高主导设计的效率，使内燃机(ICEG)绿色化。另一方面，激进轨迹的目标是混合动力、电动和燃料电池汽车(HEF)的发展。本文研究了汽车行业企业在两种轨迹下的创新行为。它调查了绿色专利的技术领先在多大程度上植根于企业在棕色领域积累的知识和能力。利用2001年至2018年间在美国专利商标局(USPTO)进行专利活动的汽车公司的新数据集，我们发现相关的“棕色知识”表示绿色轨迹的领先地位。

Knowing brown and inventing green? Incremental and radical innovative activities in the automotive sector

ABSTRACT The development of low emission vehicles (LEVs) represents a typical case of technological competition between two green trajectories. On the one hand, the incremental trajectory aims at improving the efficiency of the dominant design, greening the internal combustion engine (ICEG). On the other hand, the radical trajectory targets the progress of hybrid, electric and fuel cell vehicles (HEF). This paper studies the innovative behaviours of firms in the automotive sector patenting in both trajectories. It investigates the extent to which technological leadership in green patents is rooted in firms’ knowledge and capabilities accumulated in brown domains. Using a novel dataset of automotive firms with patenting activity at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) between 2001 and 2018, we find that related ‘brown knowledge’ denotes leadership in green trajectories.

期刊介绍： Industry and Innovation is an international refereed journal presenting high-quality original scholarship of the dynamics of industries and innovation. Interdisciplinary in nature, Industry and Innovation is informed by, and contributes in turn to, advancing the theoretical frontier within economics, organization theory, and economic geography. Theoretical issues encompass: •What are the institutional underpinnings for different organizational forms? •How are different industrial structures and institutions related to innovation patterns and economic performance?
