Summary: This study examines the relationship between R&D intensity, eco-friendly practices, firm value, and stakeholders' concerns in the energy sector. The results show that R&D intensity stimulates eco-friendly practices and that corporate environmental performance enhances firm value. The interaction between R&D intensity and eco-innovation has a value-enhancing effect.

Summary: This paper investigates the role of government in China's corporate growth and finds that officials' promotion expectation has a positive impact on corporate growth. It also shows that corporate strategic deviance acts as a mediator between officials' promotion expectation and corporate growth. State-owned enterprises are less influenced by corporate strategic deviance compared to non-state-owned enterprises.

Summary: This research explores how firm size and the type of offering moderate the relationship between innovation strategy and performance. The results from two studies with managers of US firms show that firm size and type of offering indeed moderate this relationship and indicate the existence of dual moderating effects. The findings challenge traditional beliefs on the benefits of exploration and exploitation strategies for firms of different sizes and reveal that service firms benefit from an exploration innovation strategy regardless of their size.

Summary: This paper empirically investigates the impact and mechanism of industrial policies on the innovation quality of wind power companies, using data from 2004-2019 of listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen, as well as policies issued by Chinese ministries and departments. The results show that policies play a significant role in promoting the quality of enterprise innovation in the wind power sector. Credit financing of enterprises has a different intermediary role between different types of industrial policies and the quality of corporate innovation. Executive equity incentives positively moderate the relationship between different types of industrial policies and corporate credit financing, effectively weakening the adverse effects of regulatory policies and enhancing the role of policies in promoting corporate innovation quality.

Summary: This paper explores the influence of selective industrial policies on the innovation performance of PV enterprises and its mechanism of action. By constructing a moderated mediation model and using the stepwise regression method, the research analyzes 243 PV industrial policies and 147 PV listed companies from 2009 to 2019. The results show that selective industrial policies have a positive effect on the innovation performance of photovoltaic enterprises, with corporate R&D investment serving as a partial mediating factor and the degree of marketization playing a moderating role.

Summary: This study analyzed the development of renewable energy policies in China and examined the impacts of different types of policies on provincial renewable energy development. The results showed that technology development policies have a positive effect on renewable energy, while market management policies may inhibit its development in provinces with abundant resources. Comprehensive planning policies and support policies such as finance and tax had no significant impact on renewable energy development. Therefore, the Chinese government needs to strengthen the control of market management policies and enhance the execution and supervision of planning management in provinces with limited resources.

Summary: Timely R&D investment in green technologies reduces mitigation costs and creates positive employment effects. Carbon revenues are enough to finance additional R&D investment and generate economic benefits. Governments need to make important decisions on incentivizing research and innovation for climate neutrality, which is often overlooked in current assessments.

Summary: This paper assesses the relationship between recent research on the RD&I sector of Petrobras and the quantitative data available in the company's reports and Brazilian regulatory agencies. The findings suggest that the company's state development, human resources, innovation clusters, increase in patents and production, and cost reduction are directly related to the variation in innovation networks, state policies, and internal human resource policies. Furthermore, it is discovered that short-term outcomes are not correlated with training or R&D spending, but a long-term drop in investment could lead to risks such as a decline in researchers, technical advancement, oil reserves, and output growth.

Summary: The governance for introducing innovative surgical procedures/devices varies from country to country, with unclear standards and lack of consistency observed in NHS policies in England and Wales. A standardized approach is recommended for the oversight of surgical innovation to ensure transparency and safety monitoring.

Summary: This study fills the knowledge gaps by exploring the distinct symbolic influences of subsidy and tax rebate policies on green firm research and development efficiency, using the global Malmquist-Luenberger index method. The empirical results demonstrate that subsidies and tax rebates received from local and central governments have significant U-shaped impacts on green firm R&D efficiency, and they have significant and positive interactions with green firm R&D efficiency under the U-shaped effects of subsidies and tax rebates. Furthermore, subsidies and tax rebates play different roles in influencing green firm R&D efficiency by stimulating R&D investment, boosting technical efficiency change, and facilitating technical progress change.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of business strategies of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) on the participation of non-state-owned capital. It finds that aggressive corporate strategy positively affects the motivation of private capital to participate in reform. Further research shows that the impact of business strategy is more significant when SOEs are politically connected, located in commercial competition industries, and in regions with cleaner governments.

Summary: Low-carbon industrial upgrading is crucial for long-term climate change mitigation and sustainable industrial development. However, there is limited empirical evidence on the effects of environmental policies on low-carbon industrial upgrading, and the analysis of channels is lacking. This study contributes to the literature by examining the impacts of four distinct environmental policies on low-carbon upgrading and their potential channels using panel data from 30 provinces in China. The findings suggest that energy-saving goals and new energy subsidies promote low-carbon upgrading, while pollution discharge fees restrain it and emission trading schemes have no impact. The analysis also highlights the importance of market mechanisms, stricter law enforcement, and low-carbon industry development in policy implementation.
