Definition of GE Data Drivers and barriers to GE GE and RIS3 Defining ‘green’ (entrepreneurship)
One possible definition of Green Entrepreneurship
“A green entrepreneur can be either making her businessgreen or simply entering a green business. In other words,green entrepreneurship could be defined in terms of thetechnology used for production in any sector of theeconomy, or in terms of the sectors firms are active in, inwhich case our attention is restricted to parts of the economyproducing specific types of output. The former is sometimesreferred to as a process approach in defining green business,while the latter as an output approach.”

How to define ‘green’ sectors (and consequently GE)▸ Regulation No. 691/2011 describes the environmental goods and
services sector as the production activities of a national economythat generate environmental products. Environmental productsare products that have been produced for the purpose ofenvironmental protection and resource management.
▸ Few industries are fully green (e.g. Nace rev. 2, E38 ‘Wastecollection, treatment and disposal activities; materials recovery’)
▸ Some industry produces environmental goods but it is pollutionand material intensive (e.g. manufacturing of wind turbines orphotovoltaic panels)
▸ Other industries have experienced radical changes and reducedsubstantial their environmental impacts even though they do notproduce environmental products ⇒ should ‘environmentalefficient’ entrepreneurs in these sectors considered greenentrepreneurs?
⇒ The definition of green entrepreneurship depends substantially onhow green sectors are defined

Beyond the sectoral approach
▸ With the exception of some specific sectors, ‘green firms’ arespread across many different sectors
▸ Very limited availability of data (e.g. business entry/exit) fornarrow sectors (e.g. 4-digit NACE)
⇒ Research should ideally move from ‘firms in green sectors’ to ‘greenbusinesses’
▸ Not easy as green businesses can be identified according to avariety of criteria
▸ Adoption and development of green technologies andorganizational practices
▸ Production of green goods and services▸ ...

Why Green Entrepreneurship is different?
▸ Linked to yesterday’s talk by Prof. Mazzanti, the role of policy iscrucial when dealing with green activities
▸ Under-provision of green products in absence of the ‘right’ priceson externalities and resources
▸ Asymmetric information about the ‘greenness’ of product andservices between entrepreneurs and consumers ⇒ labelling andcertification
▸ Trade-offs exist among the various dimensions of ‘greenness’ due toconflicts between different environmental goals and possiblerebound effects ⇒ back to the definition of ‘green entrepreneurship’

DATA TO SUPPORT RESEARCH ON GREENENTREPRENEURSHIP
Giovanni Marin Research about Green Entrepreneurship
Definition of GE Data Drivers and barriers to GE GE and RIS3 Measuring GE Other data Methodologies
Measuring ‘entrepreneurship’
▸ It depends on how entrepreneurship is defined (rememberyesterday’s discussion by Prof. Audretsch)
1. How the firm is organized ⇒ SMEs, new firms and start-ups, etc2. How the firm behaves ⇒ opportunity (recognition, creation,
evaluation, exploitation)3. Performance of the firm ⇒ innovation and growth
▸ 1 and 3 are easier to identify (but not trivial) based on rather‘objective’ criteria, while for 2 a more qualitative assessment isneeded

Useful data sources
▸ Ad-hoc or existing surveys
▸ Business registries
▸ Labelling and certification
▸ Patents and trademarks
▸ Aggregated data
▸ Other useful data

Surveys
▸ Existing surveys:▸ CIS2008 (which includes questions on eco-innovation)▸ Flash Eurobarometer #315 “Attitudes of European entrepreneurs
towards eco-innovation” (on SMEs)
▸ Ad-hoc surveys▸ Expensive and generally ‘one-shot’ but...▸ ...tailored to the specific research design▸ Understand ‘how green’ is the green entrepreneur is of crucial
importance (i.e. try to go beyond dichotomous definitions)

Business registries (not specifically green)
▸ Italy (for example)▸ ASIA (Archivio Statistico Imprese Attive, Istat)▸ STARNET Unioncamere (Chamber of Commerce)
▸ Microdata from national statistical offices (CASD in France,ADELE in Italy, etc)
▸ ORBIS, AMADEUS and other BvD databases ⇒ balance sheet,income statement and other ‘demographic’ information (mostlymedium and big firms)

Definition of GE Data Drivers and barriers to GE GE and RIS3 Measuring GE Other data Methodologies
Labelling and certification▸ Beyond ‘compulsory’ environmental regulations, ‘soft’ and
voluntary measures represent other motivations that induce firmsto be ‘green’
▸ Certification and labelling contribute to signaling the ‘sustainable’nature of the firm to interested customers that are willing to pay apremium for green(er) products and services
▸ Many (fragmented) databases on CSR, certification and labelling:▸ EMAS and ISO14001 certifications (that certify organizational
practices)▸ Eco labels (that certify life-cycle environmental pressures)

Definition of GE Data Drivers and barriers to GE GE and RIS3 Measuring GE Other data Methodologies
Patents▸ Another way to go beyond the definition of ‘green sectors’ is to
focus on technologies▸ Patents contain a wealth of information on the characteristics of
the invention (very detailed technology classes, full text andabstract)
▸ They also contain very useful (but ‘dirty’) information on inventorsand applicants ⇒ useful for example to ‘follow’ the career of‘green inventors’ across different applicants/entrepreneurs
▸ And more and more (e.g. citations)
▸ Green technology classes (based on IPC and CPC classes)▸ OECD EnvTech Indicator▸ Y02 CPC classes▸ Green Inventory (WIPO)
▸ Patent databases▸ Espacenet (http://worldwide.espacenet.com) ⇒ free▸ OECD Regpat, Han, Citations, TPF ⇒ free (but ‘easy’ request is
needed)▸ Thomson Reuters, Patstat and others ⇒ subscription is needed

...but
▸ Patenting is expensive and it is mostly used by big incumbentfirms rather than by SMEs and start-ups
▸ Sometimes start-ups are created to exploit commercially theblueprints protected by one or more existing patents developed byan inventor or a group of inventors ⇒ the applicant of the patent(s)will not be the start-up (that did not exist yet...) ⇒ little publicinformation on licensing of patents
▸ However, the possibility to follow inventors (entrepreneurs?) acrossdifferent experiences, beside the issue of ‘name disambiguation’, is anice feature of patent data

Trademarks
▸ Patents mostly focus on inventions and technological innovations
▸ The emergence of new ‘products or services’ can be tracked bymonitoring Trademarks
but I do not know much about that...

Motivation and aim
▸ Transition from a policy-driven to market-driven eco-innovation:green and strategic dimension, source of competitive advantage
▸ Barriers determine (hamper) both policy and business strategies.Unfortunately, too little is known about barriers to eco-innovation(insights from innovation studies)
▸ A taxonomy/clustering of SMEs (relevant for policy andtransition towards green economy) based on barriers toeco-innovation and EI investments is proposed

Data and methods
▸ CIS 2008: info on eco-innovation, but no question on barriers.Previous CIS waves: no info on eco-innovation, but questions onbarriers to innovation
▸ 2011 Flash Eurobaromenter ‘Attitudes of European entrepreneurstowards eco-innovation’: questions on barriers to eco-innovation andinvestment in environmental innovation activities (% of totalinnovation investment)
▸ Sample: 2,308 SMEs in EU27, manufacturing and ‘green’ industries(i.e. water supply, sewerage and waste management)

Variables
▸ Cost barriers:▸ Insufficient internal funding; insufficient external funding; uncertain
return to eco-innovation; insufficient access to subsidies andfinancial incentives
▸ Knowledge barriers:▸ Lack of qualified personnel and technological capabilities; lack of
external info; lack of suitable business partners; lack ofcollaboration with research organizations; technological lock-ins
▸ Market barriers:▸ Uncertain demand; lack of incentives to reducing material use;
lack of incentives to reducing energy use; dominated market;existing regulations not providing incentives to eco-innovate
▸ EI investment:▸ Normalized ordinal variable reflecting the % of investment in
eco-innovation over the total of innovation expenditures

▸ ‘Green champions’ invest more than ‘revealed barriers’, but theinnovative outcome is not different ⇒ Learning from barriers?
▸ ‘Deterring barriers’ SMEs invest less than ‘non eco-innovators’but they achieve the same rate of EI adoption ⇒ Learning frombarriers (in Second Division)?
▸ No matter the EI investment, pecuniary barriers, either cost ormarket ones, tend to have the same effect on EI adoption
▸ Disinterest and lack of orientation towards EI make ‘noneco-innovators’ firms having a significantly worse performancethan ‘market deterred’ ones, despite the same EI invest

Conclusion
▸ 6 statistically robust clusters based on the combination ofdifferent types of perceived barriers (cost, market, knowledge) andthe engagement in EI investment
▸ Strong correspondence with the adoption of eco-innovation
▸ A guide for policy tayloring (one size, as usual, does not fit all)!
▸ Sectoral policy seems to us quite ineffective: our barrier-basedclusters imply the need of different initiatives

Questions, questions, questions....
▸ Does the Green Economy require a specific kind of skills?
▸ Are these skills similar to the ones used in existing non-greensectors? Are they similar to currently available skills?
▸ Is there an overlap with the set of skills demanded by recent‘technological revolutions’ (e.g. ICTs)?
▸ Is Europe ready to evaluate potential skill gaps and intervene tofill these gaps?
Giovanni Marin Research about Green Entrepreneurship

Background
▸ Vast theoretical and empirical literature documenting the changesin the demand for skills due to the ICT revolution
▸ Many policy reports (CEDEFOP, ILO, OECD, UNEP, etc) haveemphasized the fact that the green economy is likely to inducechanges in the demand for specific skills
▸ Mostly based on ad-hoc case studies and qualitative assessments

The Green Economy Initiative by O*NET
Dierdorff et al (2009) Greening of the World of Work: Implications forO*NET-SOC and New and Emerging Occupations
▸ Three different categories of green occupations:
▸ ‘Increased demand’ occupations (with no specific ‘green tasks’) ⇒their demand is likely to increase thanks to the ‘green economy’with no expected change in the skill content of these occupations
▸ ‘Enhanced skills’ occupations ⇒ the ‘green economy’ is likely toaffect the skill and task contents of these existing occupations
▸ ‘New and emerging’ occupations ⇒ the ‘green economy’ requiresnew occupations that did not exist before
▸ After identifying these occupations, recent updates of the O*NETcatalogue have assessed the green specific tasks of ‘Enhancedskills’ and ‘New and emerging’ occupations

Green Skills?
▸ O*NET (Occupational Information Network) provides a detailedcatalogue of general skills and tasks (about 400 items) withimportance scores for a detailed list of occupations (more than900)
▸ Based on a data-driven approach we select those general skills thathave systematically and significantly greater importance scores inoccupations with high level of ‘greenness’ (i.e. share of ‘greenspecific tasks)
Task Implk = α + βl ×Greennessk +DSOC 3digitk + εk
▸ A general skill is identified as a Green General Skill (GGS) if thecoefficient βl is positive and statistically significant (1 percent)
▸ The selected GGS are then grouped together with the support of aprincipal component analysis

Research and Innovation Strategies for SmartSpecialization (RIS3)
Smart specialisation is a new innovation policy conceptdesigned to promote the efficient and effective use of publicinvestment in research. Its goal is to boost regionalinnovation in order to achieve economic growth and prosperity,by enabling regions to focus on their strengths. Smartspecialisation understands that spreading investment toothinly across several frontier technology fields risks limitingthe impact in any one area.
A smart specialisation strategy needs to be built on a soundanalysis of regional assets and technology. It should alsoinclude an analysis of potential partners in other regions andavoid unnecessary duplication. Smart specialisation needs tobe based on a strong partnership between businesses, publicentities and knowledge institutions such partnerships arerecognised as essential for success.
