Eco-innovation, sustainable supply chains and environmental performance in European industries (2017, unknown): “However, patent data are largely used in innovation studies as a proxy of innovative activities (Johnstone et al., 2010; Popp, 2005) and provide detailed information on technological specialization at the sectoral level.”
A Survey of the Literature on Environmental Innovation Based on Main Path Analysis (2016, unknown): “, 2012; Cainelli & Mazzanti, 2013; Demirel & Kesidou, 2011; Horbach, 2008; Kesidou & Demirel, 2012) or from a theoretical point of view (e.g. Rennings, 2000; Popp, 2005).”
Environmental regulation and innovation in renewable energy technologies: Does the policy instrument matter? (2020, background): “Popp (2005) shows that the access to existing knowledge has a positive effect on research activities and the success of future inventions.”
Patents as a measure for eco-innovation (2008, methodology): “…process (Griliches, 1990), they are not only a measure of innovative output, but also an indicator of the level of innovative activity itself (Popp, 2005).3 For example, Cohen et al. (2000) emphasize that there is a mutual causation between R&D and patents, and that patenting tends to…”
Modeling endogenous technological change for climate policy analysis (2008, background): “Popp (2005, 2006b) extracts some of the most important findings about the interaction between technological change and environmental policy from the empirical literature: innovation responds to incentives, innovation within a field experiences diminishing returns over time, exogenous TC does not…”
Do Important Inventions Benefit from Knowledge Originating in Other Technological Domains (2012, methodology): “has changed little for over 200 years, and every patent is categorized by experts using a standard classification scheme (Griliches, 1990; Watanabe et al., 2001; Jaffe and Trajtenberg, 2002; Hall et al., 2005; Popp, 2005).”
Bottom-up estimation of industrial and public R&D investment by technology in support of policy-making: the case of selected low-carbon energy technologies (2012, background): “In theory, however, the share of deployment activities in the present assessment of industrial R&D investments should be lim- 8 Popp (2005) shows that patents are a suitable means for obtaining R&D activity in highly disaggregated forms.”
