The influence of eco-innovation on high-performing firms: The dynamics of productivity in the context of circular economy

This paper analyses the influence of eco-innovation on the dynamics of firm performance in the context of a circular economy. From a firm-level approach, we investigate whether firms whose innovation strategies simultaneously aim at significant reductions in material and energy consumption and high...

From a firm-level approach, we investigate whether firms whose innovation strategies simultaneously aim at significant reductions in material and energy consumption and high environmental awareness (circular eco-innovators) have a higher probability of both reaching (entry) and remaining (persistence) in the group of high-performing firms (top of high-productivity firms).
