International Collaborative Eco-innovation and Global Value Chains 1: University of Birmingham, United Kingdom; 2: University of Birmingham, United Kingdom; 3: University of Birmingham, United Kingdom This paper explores the relationship between GVCs and international technological collaboration with a focus on collaborative eco-innovation. The role of GVCs and the net zero transition relates to the geographical fragmentation of production which creates a physical gap between the consumption and production of carbon emissions. Using patent data and trade between OECD countries and China we estimate a PPML regression with three-way fixed effects and show clear links between trade and collaborative eco-innovation. Specifically, a 1% increase in the domestic value-added content of exports and in the overseas value-added content of exports is shown to increase collaborative eco-innovation by 1.648 and 2.983 units (patents) on average, respectively. Given that the average number of collaborative patents is on average around 8 per year this translates into a 17% and 30% increase in patents, respectively. The mechanisms underpinning these results and the policy implications are discussed. | |
