Industry Mix and 3D Urban Heterogeneity: Insights Into Innovation Districts

Modeling and Optimization of Building Mix and Energy Supply Technology for Urban Districts

Reducing the energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions of urban areas is paramount in research and practice, encompassing strategies to both reduce energy consumption and carbon intensity in both energy supply and demand. Most methods focus on one of these two approaches but few integrate decisions for supply and demand simultaneously. This paper presents a novel model that end...

Firm heterogeneity within industries: how important is 'industry' to innovation?

In this paper we assess how important “industry” is to innovation. Our empirical estimates suggest that “industry factors” are, at most, only moderately important for R&D, innovation and innovative performance at the firm level. The results offer empirical support to recent evolutionary theorizing stressing that firms have heterogeneous innovative capabilities and hence differ in terms of perfo...
