Innovation for climate change adaptation and technical efficiency: an empirical analysis in the European agricultural sector
2020
This paper analyses the effect of innovation on firms' technical efficiency. Using climate-related patent data to proxy for innovation activity in different technological fields, the paper employs a stochastic frontier approach to estimate the impact of innovative efforts on agricultural firms' technical efficiency taking account of both unobservable heterogeneity and double heteroscedasticity in the inefficiency and idiosyncratic terms. Our findings confirm that innovation has a positive impact on firms' productivity (technical efficiency). While agricultural firms located in Germany and Sweden are more efficient compared to those in southern countries, all the European countries considere…
Climate variability, innovation and firm performance: evidence from the European agricultural sector
2021
Abstract It is generally accepted that adaptation to climate variability requires a technological advancement strategy. However, the innovation process has received little explicit consideration in this framework. We employ a panel endogenous switching regression model to explore whether and to what extent climate variability affects firm performance through the ability to induce the development of adaptation innovations in key resource-based sectors in Europe during the period 2007–2017. Our findings confirm that the knowledge generation process at the heart of climate change adaptation technologies enhances firm performance, especially for firms in the aquaculture and fishing sub-sectors …
DIGITAL LIFE –research group
Our aim is to research the effects that digitalization and social media impose on themes such as age and aging, life cycles and intergenerational relationships, social interactions, consumption and marketing, financial literacy, education, services, health and wellbeing, identity, values and attitudes as well as work, families, and time management.
New technologies, ageing and care
RG studies older adults’ use of digital technologies and services as well as the digitalization of care work. Research work is carried out in several interconnected projects and in close collaboration with national and international partners. RG belongs to JYU’s Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care (CoE AgeCare).
Digital contents and communication flows
MEDIAFLOWS is focused on the analysis of the changes and mutations caused by the process of digitization in the content and structures of media and in the public. The group's origin is the activity of most of its researchers since 2007, within the framework of the "Valencian Digital Media Analysis Group" (since 2007), which has resulted in the achievement of three R&D projects (financed by the Generalitat Valenciana and the University of Valencia) and an annual conference (Digital Communication Congress in the Valencian Community) that began to be held in 2009. As a result of all this, five monographs and a large number of partial publications in congresses, journals and book chapters have …
