The future of skills: employment in 2030 (2017, methodology): “Similar frameworks have been used in the trade literature, especially in the context of outsourcing and offshoring and also to understand the emergence of new occupations such as green jobs (Consoli et al., 2016).”
Forms of knowledge and eco-innovation modes: Evidence from Spanish manufacturing firms (2017, background): “Second, also with respect to the green realm it can be argued that, in order to get implemented, efficiency related EIs need to be accompanied by important changes in labour composition and skill content (Consoli and Vona, 2015; Consoli et al., 2016).”
Climate policies and skill-biased employment dynamics: Evidence from EU countries (2018, background): “technological level of the sector are captured using both non-ICT and ICT capital stocks per hour worked; ii) exposure to international competition is captured by import penetration; and iii) GHG intensity and the stock of EPO climate-related patents per hours worked are, respectively, our primary a”
‘Better late than never’: the interplay between green technology and age for firm growth (2017, background): “Second, younger firms may be more averse to the growth exploitation of green technologies, as these are often in the early stage of their life cycles and thus marked by greater uncertainty than non-green ones (Consoli et al., 2016).”
Born to be green: new insights into the economics and management of green entrepreneurship (2017, background): “can refer to a wide range of factors that are as distinct as environmental management performance (Darnall and Edwards 2006), green technologies (Meyskens and Carsrud 2013), individual commitment toward the environment by a team of founders (Kuckertz and Wagner 2010), creation of environmentally sus”
Characterising green employment: The impacts of ‘greening’ on workforce composition (2018, background): “6 Consoli et al. (2015). whereas the largest skill differences are concentrated in a few lowand medium-skill occupations.”
Knowledge sources and impacts on subsequent inventions: Do green technologies differ from non-green ones? (2018, background): “The greater extent to which green innovations require new combinations of knowledge, resonates with evidence on the human capital and skills content of green jobs, highlighted by Consoli et al. (2016).”
Green technologies and Smart Specialisation Strategies: a European patent-based analysis of the intertwining of technological relatedness and key enabling technologies (2018, background): “The technologies for “greening” the regional economies in many cases are at an early stage of their life-cycle (Consoli et al., 2016) and their knowledgebase is often quite complex to master, entailing a lot of uncertainty in undertaking them from scratch (Braungart et al., 2007).”
