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…

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 …
